The festival is inspired by the silvery glow of the Langeberg Mountains. The natural beauty of the area is coupled with a rich cultural heritage and genuine rural hospitality. ​We also showcase local cuisine and access to adventures, such as hiking and mountain biking. The weekend is specially designed to promote the incredible natural history of the Grootvadersbosch area with walks and talks from local conservations, scientists and anthropologists.
