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.
Several local wineries and brewers have partnered with the festival, including Sijnn Wines, Olivedale, Folk & Goode, Jan Harmsgat and CanCan from Renegade Wines. This means you can enjoy wonderful wines and beers at the various events throughout the festival. Many events include catering from Skeiding Guest House which will highlight the local culinary delights.
