The Plett Arts Festival is more than just a gallery show; it's a town-wide event that transforms Plettenberg Bay and its surroundings. The festival kicks off on October 3rd with the beloved Twilight Meander, where Plett's main street becomes a vibrant stage. Galleries unveil new exhibitions, live musicians play on every corner, and local restaurants serve up food and wine to a lively crowd.
Over the next ten days, the festival's program is packed with various events, including:
- Live Music & Performances: Enjoy concerts and shows in intimate venues and under the open sky.
- Workshops & Talks: Get up close with South Africa's leading artists through engaging workshops and conversations.
- Exhibitions: Explore diverse visual art, including portraits, bronzes, and more, from a range of talented artists.
- Plett Land Art Route: This unique feature allows you to view ephemeral and thought-provoking works that blend with the natural landscapes of fynbos, forests, and coastline. The Land Art Route will be at Plett’s beaches and estuaries from October 3rd to 7th, and then at Cairnbrogie Farm from October 8th to 12th. Barrington's will host the Land Art Hub, with talks and conversations with artists and thought leaders.
A Laid-Back Vibe

This year promises a laid-back atmosphere and a judgment-free space for self-expression. As Daron says, "Each year, it moves my heart and exceeds my expectations in every way. The future of this event is so inspiring, and I am so grateful to every person who puts their time, energy and love into it to make it so magical."
