Cape Town's Inaugural Ubuntu Festival at Mandela Rhodes

There's exciting news afoot in the Mother City as winter takes on a new mantle with the launch of the inaugural Ubuntu Festival

Rock to the sounds of top SA artists as they entertain; taste the delicacies that the city is renowned for; mingle with enterprising crafters and artists and enjoy the ambience of Mandela Rhodes Place and surrounds.

We’ve decided to celebrate Mandela Day in true Mother City style in the new heart of the old City!

A festival with a difference, the exciting line-up includes everything that Cape Town is known for: a lively programme of music – from jazz to pop idols, rock to cultural dance – expect a colourful array of hip hop, kwaito and more, tempting cuisine, upcoming artists, producers and crafters – everyone will be donning their party gear!

A bright rainbow experience is what you can expect and, with the addition of corporate workshops and gala occasions, unity and education join hands with entrepreneurship and talent to show “ubuntu’ in its true sense. Come celebrate the talents that our rainbow nation has to offer.
