Every year in September, the annual Northern Arts Festival takes place at Van Der Kemps Kloof Nature Reserve, in Port Elizabeth's suburb of Bethelsdorp. The Northern Arts Festival serves as a means to close the gap between the arts and community development, and hopes to do so through the medium of music. The festival is an introduction, a celebration and and platform to display South Africa's cultural strength through the medium of the arts.
The Northern Arts Festival is a pleasant mix of music and cultural experiences for those seeking a central point for creativity, entertainment and cultural diversity, and is sure to be a highlight of the avid festival goer's event calendar.
The festival will provide both a showcase, and an ideal opportunity for
exposure, for talented artists and musicians, with a primary focus on emerging talent. The Northern Arts Festival also pays tribute to various industry leaders, academics and community leader, and features a line up of established acts and personalities for the local area. A number of government exhibitors, musicians, businesses, local craftsmen and food vendors amongst others will be featured at the event.
