--- Free Outdoor peace festival---

Now in it's 11th year, Earthdance Melbourne once again offers it's section of an incredible global peace festival. Having taken on feedback from our punters on what Earthdance means to them, its is clear that Earthdance Melbourne belongs outdoors; in the sun and on grass! This year we have taken that on board and found an amazing large grassy venue only 10 kilometers from the city!
THEME: Inner Child
This years theme focuses on children and youth issues, as well as the creative inner child within us all. The event will include a giant kids area, a youth drug and health education bus, a circus play space, games and much more. All the artwork will also revolve around this theme, from the chosen acts to the cheeky roving performers. We want to create an environment where you can express your inner child, and thus feel compassion and understanding towards the younger generation.

DONATIONS: We need your help.
One of our site requirements of this year is that we do not charge on entry. In order to cover necessary costs and thus raise more money on the day for our charities, we have set up an ONLINE DONATION SYSTEM. Ten to fifteen dollars is the recommended donation. The event is still officially free and anyone is welcome to come! Your support however really will make a big difference. Thankyou kindly.
