Annual Events
Earthdance Cape Town
The Earthdance vision is to unite the whole world through the universal platform of dance and music. Each year like-minded people across the planet at over 300 Earthdance events in over 60 countries come together in celebration of non-stop music, dance and peace. At 1am on Sunday morning (SA Time) all Earthdance events link via the “Prayer for Peace” meditation, a song that is played at all events at exactly the same time, connecting all participants at every Earthdance in solidarity for Peace.
As part of the global Earthdance family we have grown Earthdance Cape Town into one of the most forward thinking, musically exciting, and socially uplifting events Cape Town see’s each year.
GoodTimes Events has been producing and co-ordinating Earthdance Cape Town since the year 2000. From humble beginnings with borrowed sound, decor and all artists performing for free to more recent years where multiple dancefloors, information / kids / healing area’s, cinema, and workshops host thousands of people, there has always been one common thread running through each annual event, that of uniting like-minded people in joyous celebration of peace while having an amazingly good time!

Flamjangled Tea Party
A melting pot of musical mayhem, artistic tomfoolery and absolute hilarity.
'The Tea Party' is a festival firmly rooted in the eclectic, artistic and humorous side of life, a cultural mash-up, incorporating the best talent Africa has on offer over a wide selection of genres. Weaved together with a golden thread of funk, world beats, rock 'n roll, up-beat jazz, ethnic jams, big beating breaks, tech-house and anything that 'swings' or 'grooves'.
The Tea Party is first and foremost about an experience. Themed area's, dress-up - the more outfits you have the better - performance art, over the top theatrics, absurd activities and whatever else we can thrown in the mix to create an transformed reality for two glorious where you can be whoever or whatever they want to be!
