Fringe events at Oppikoppi

At OppiKoppi can you really get down and dirty. Here are a few nice ways to make the weekend unforgettable:

• Naked run: The OppiKoppi 1000 Naked Run Dash has become an annual institution. There are various categories: Au Naturel, Dress Up, Dress Down. We are even working on a relay round. Pack your running shoes and a friend and you could have your name(s) immortalised in sand. You have until the morning of the race to register your team.

• Vos Run: Equally important has become the tribe of dress-up characters of wild descriptions. Anything goes or has gone. Bring your cape. Fly.

• Reasonably Grand Parade: Collecting all the characters, dust bowl prophets, players and dancers. Everyone who looks like are having or have had a good time. Late afternoon on Sunday, starting in Mordor finishing in front of the main stage. Look out for details at the festival.

• Northam se Uitgewasde Seunskoor (Vir Mans en Vrouens): Once in a lifetime, once in a dustbowl. Almost like Brigadoon for rock 'n roll kids. A choir of 30 semi-professional singers will join Francois van Coke on Main Stage.

• Campfire songs: Introducing the first ever campfire song initiative. Look out for choristers and provocateurs during the festival.

• Couch competition: For many years a campfire couch has been the ultimate collector's piece. The tradition will proudly live on. Best couches are selected to see selected sets from the main stage. Dress yours well and make sure they are well placed to be spotted by our incognito judges.

Other things to look out for at the festival - Oppikoppi Comedy, Poetry Free For All, Ons Kleintjie readings and more.
