ABOUT THE EVENT

Escape into the Depth of Dreams at Root Festival

Imagine this: The sun setting over the Klein Karoo, painting the sky in hues of gold and crimson. You’re surrounded by rolling hills and ancient trees, a symphony of underground beats pulsing through the air. The air vibrates with the energy of a thousand souls, dancing beneath a canopy of stars.

This is Root Festival: Depth of Dreams. A weekend of electrifying music, mesmerizing visuals, and pure, unadulterated fun.

Prepare to be transported into a wonderland of vibrant experiences. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be swept away by the vibrant atmosphere. Choose your adventure – relax by the pool, explore the breathtaking surrounds, or lose yourself in the pulsating rhythms of the underground scene.

The Western Cape’s best event crews will be taking over the stages, crafting a sonic tapestry of electronic beats, pulsating basslines, and soaring melodies.
