What is ConFest?

It’s a festival. It’s a party. It’s a love-in. It’s a new age spiritual pilgrimage. Between 6,000 and 8,000 people gather on a river flat in the Australian outback. Some days it’s ferociously hot and dusty. Some days the rain falls in curtains, and the site becomes muddy and green. Mud is always a big part of Confest.
