Following the successful fresh-air centered 2021 Plett ARTS Festival, Outdoor Spaces, Nature, and art inspired by nature will once again take the spotlight during the ninth annual Plett ARTS Festival from 30 September to 9 October 2022. This year the theme is CONNECT:  connect with nature, connect with the elements, connect with the artists and performers and connect with each other. Spring is sprung and, as the days lengthen, it’s time to shake off the winter months and enjoy Plett’s favorite playground: legendary hospitality, outdoor adventures, beautiful beaches and, for ten days, arts, music and drama to delight and entertain.

The Plett ARTS Festival has a reputation for introducing distinctive and Plett-inspired ideas to the art festival genre over the course of its nine-year existence. Plett Food and Film and the Plett ARTS Twilight Meander, which continue to draw enthusiastic attendees every year, are just two of the festival's well-known original events. Last year, following the trend of open-air events, the festival featured a variety of intimate "art in nature" concerts on the Keurbooms River Ferry, marine safari boats, and in the lovely Bosky Dell Farm & Rose Garden. We're delighted to inform you that the 2022 festival will continue with this theme with a Plett ARTS Festival Connect Land Art Route for visitors to experience.

The festival kicks off on September 30 with a Plett ARTS Twilight Meander, a festive start to the celebrations and the arts scene in Plett's Main Street. As you meander from Dolphin Circle to Whale Wire Sculpture, the street itself comes to life with galleries, pop-up shops, restaurants, and other activities.

The next ten days will be filled with a jam packed program featuring shows and concerts, workshops, art exhibitions, land art, and more. You can view the full program here.
