GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS - The festivities kicked off last night with a lively launch and dress-up party, setting the tone for a weekend filled with creativity and community spirit.

Each year, the festival provides a vibrant platform for more than 90 artists from across South Africa to showcase their work.

This year’s theme, ‘Alice in Wonderland’, promises a whimsical and imaginative experience. Entrance is free, and everyone is welcome!

The Night of 1 000 Drawings event raised over R35 000, which was donated to the Seven Passes Initiative (NPO 065-133), a non-profit organisation operating in the rural townships of Touwsranten and Wilderness Heights. The funds contribute to their social and academic development programmes, as well as local feeding schemes.

Step into a world of creativity and escape from reality with an exciting line-up of art, music, workshops and more!
