Bushfire is Swaziland's biggest live music happening, attracting in the region of 20 000 visitors during the three days of the event. The event is characterised by diverse peoples coming together in the spirit of harmony and unity through an invigorating programme of world music and multi-disciplinary performances.

As a progressive festival for the 21st century, one of the hallmarks of Bushfire is its commitment to socially responsible and sustainable event-staging. It supports the growth and development of the arts while highlighting the need to raise funds for some of the most pressing social needs facing Swaziland. As such, 100% of the profits from the Bushfire Festival will be donated to Young Heroes, an NGO providing education, healthcare, food and general support to Aids orphans.

The annual Bushfire Festival is held on Malandela's Farm in Swaziland's Malkerns Valley. Visitors never fail to be captivated by this pastoral fantasy dreamscape, which abounds with unusual delights - from the soapstone sculptures to the quirky performance amphitheatre.

Festival-goers can camp at the venue or stay at one of a number of establishments - ranging from backpackers and guesthouses to hotels - in the area.
