Bazique is a collective of people – we are all in it together – and as much as we want you to have a good time with as few restrictions as possible, there are certain things that we cannot allow due to safety and legal reasons and there will be searches to enforce this. Please don’t bring any of the following. There is a particular sensitivity to fire risk at this venue.
Glass bottles. Cookers of any description. Braais. Flares. Fireworks. Illegal drugs. Dogs, Cows, Alpacas or any other animals. ( feel free to dress up as one tho) No Drones.

Pretty much guaranteed sunshine all day with warm evenings and only a small chance of rain. Average temperature is around 30 degrees daytime and 15 degrees night time. It can get a lot hotter in the days, up to 35 degrees, so be prepared. However there is a beautiful swimming river and all the stages are shaded with misting systems to keep you cool while you dance!
