The ultimate restoration celebration.

Nature lovers of all kinds, Reforest Fest is returning! Since 2011, this has been Greenpop’s flagship event. It’s a four-day immersive experience where environmental stewardship meets a vibrant celebration of life. Gather your green-hearted friends for a weekend of growth, music, and community.

What is Reforest Fest?

More than just a music festival, Reforest Fest is a call to action. It is a dynamic gathering that blends arts, culture, and music with active reforestation efforts.

Whether you’re here for the beats, the workshops, or the trees, you’re part of a global movement moving from climate anxiety to agency. It’s a space for all ages to connect with the planet and each other.

We’re planting trees, together

While the festivities run all weekend, Saturday morning puts the "Reforest" in "Reforest Fest." The music pauses as the entire festival community heads to the field to plant between 5,000 and 10,000 indigenous trees together.It’s a powerful, hands-on highlight that sets Reforest Fest apart. By participating in this collective effort, you contribute to Greenpop's year-round Uilenkraal Forest Restoration Project, helping to rejuvenate degraded forest patches, enhance biodiversity, and create resilient ecosystems for the future.

We are thrilled to announce our 2026 headliners. From brass-filled energy to soulful rhythms, these artists are joining us in the forest to celebrate the age of restoration:
