Welcome to Off Grid Festival, a full experiential gathering exploring the paths to a new and brighter world. Be part of the story.  

Off Grid is a deep exploration of community living, creativity and consciousness; an intimate environment in which to share skills, trade knowledge, impart wisdom and make a difference. Four days out of the world to get into changing our world. We think of it as an experimental innovation lab for a new paradigm of economic, ecological and community thought, a radical gathering of empowered people making a difference in their lives and celebrating emergent culture.

Over the years the festival has educated and informed thousands of people about the skills and knowledge required for a low-impact ‘off-grid’ lifestyle. 

At Off Grid 2017, we believe that another world is possible. The question we are asking is, how do we make it so??

What does Off Grid mean?

Off Grid embraces all and anybody looking and seeking for more a healthy, free and connected way of life for ourselves and the entire planet. There is no fixed definition and nobody is excluded.
