Cederberg Rooibos Arts Festival

Celebrate the creative arts in Clanwilliam

Embrace the rich culture of the countryside at the Cederberg Rooibos Arts Festival. Explore the small town and check out local theatre productions, music performances and art exhibitions from Thursday, 20 October to Sunday, 23 October 2016.

Formerly known as the Leipoldtfees, this festival was established in 1997 as a tribute to Dr C. Louis Leipoldt, a doctor, writer and poet, and celebrated his achievements in his career as well as the culture of Clanwilliam, which was his home town. As the festival grew over the last ten years, it was renamed the Cederberg Rooibos Kunstefees and now showcases art, literature and theatre from the Clanwilliam area. The aim of the festival is to celebrate African culture and encourage artists in the countryside to develop their talent and exhibit their work.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE 2016 CEDERBERG ROOIBOS ARTS FESTIVAL IN CLANWILLIAM

MUSIC: Local musos such as The Wildberries, Nic Stevens and the Clanwilliam Steel Band will be performing in the visitor’s garden. There will also be gospel performances in the NG Church Hall and other solo acts at various restaurants in the town.

THEATRE: There will be musicals, comedies and drama shows by local performers at the festival this year. See Anthea Thompson’s hilarious one-woman show or check out a fascinating tale about drugs, children and everyday family struggles. Clanwilliam Secondary School will also be putting on plays and musical performances starring talented pupils of all ages.

ART EXHIBITIONS: The Cederberg Arts House will be opening on Thursday, 20 October 2016 and Dr. Ernst van der Walt will be giving an introductory speech as well as a reading from his book Teen Die Stormwinde. Ulric Roberts, Stephen Bassett, Heather Garisch and Ria Witz are among the artists that will be displaying their work in the gallery this month.

FOOD AND WINE: Chefs Marlise Scheepers, Nic van Wyk, Retha Skein and Martjie Malan will each host cooking demonstrations to share their tips and tricks with aspiring cookery connoisseurs. Learn how to make a perfect koeksister and try out traditional Clanwilliam meals with these culinary artists.

In addition to these events, there will be live book readings, historical talks and dance shows at the festival.
