Villages & Tribes at ConFest

This is a long running and rich tradition at ConFest, groups of people form tribes and villages based on: workshops, common beliefs, themes, activities, jokes, whims, social and environmental issues, arts & culture, social groups and community organisations .... The list goes on and on, often it is simply a happy geographic accident that brings people together.

Like almost everything at ConFest these villages are self organised and often spontaneous, like a town sized version of a dress-up party they add a sense of fun and play to our gathering.

Many of the villages plan to or find themselves camped close to one of the Communal Kitchen spaces, decorating and energising the space to form a community hub for info, interaction and often entertainment, as well as for feeding themselves.

Some villages and tribes from past and current ConFests are; Spiral, Silly Hat, Walter Avenue, Children's, Pagan, Laceweb, The Grove, Fire Dance, Drumming, Arts, Magic Forest, Gypsy, Mud Tribe, Tek Know, Forest, Pt'Chang, Queer, Transgender, Ananda Marga, Springfield.......
