The 2nd Annual "Earthdance" festival will be held on Saturday, September 26th through Sunday, September 27th at Boca de Tomatlán. The event will begin at 4 pm on Saturday, and end on Sunday at 4 pm.
Entrance to the festival will be $150 pesos per person, with a percentage to be donated to Mundo Ceiba A.C., a civil organization dedicated to planting trees and promoting ecological awareness.
The event will feature live Mexican musical acts, Mexican cultural dances, fire performances, drumming, DJ's, reggae bands, Yoga sessions, ecological workshops for kids and native dishes prepared by local women. Other featured performers include:
• Hunab Tech
• Cosmonautica
• Surat

Camp sites will be available. Campers should bring anti-mosquito lotion, extra clothes, toilet paper, tents, and lanterns.
Earthdance was conceived in 1996 by artist/musician Chris Deckker, as a vision to unite the world through the universal platform of dance and music. Rising out of the global electronic music scene, Earthdance has now grown to include a diverse cross-section of musical genres including world music, jazz, conscious hip-hop, folk and reggae. It is the largest global synchronized dance event in the world, with 60 countries participating.
According to promoters of the event, Earthdance shows how the potent combination of music, dance and technology can be harnessed for positive and humanitarian aims. For one night all around the globe, people join together to dance as one global community, united with a common vision for peace and humanitarian aims.
To become an officially recognized Earthdance public event, each promoter must donate 50 percent or more of their profits to a local charity that falls into one of the following categories:
• The Welfare of Children & Urban Youth
• Indigenous Peoples & Cultures
• International Relief and Development
• Environmental Sustainability & Protection
• Organizations that help Promote Peace
