A celebration of culture, music & tourism, taking place from September 29 to October 11 along the R62 Klein Karoo, Overberg, and Winelands routes. Featuring local and WOMAD international artists, this dynamic series of concerts and community based interactive workshops on music, dance, indigenous traditions, literature and mental health transforms small towns into vibrant cultural destinations. By spotlighting lesser-known towns and creating economic impact, the event fosters job creation, cultural tourism, and a sustainable events pipeline.

In addition to performances, curated tourism experiences highlight the unique charm of each region, ensuring travellers discover hidden gems and authentic local culture. With ambitions to expand annually, this initiative seeks to establish a lasting annual cultural footprint.
