EMPOWERING YOUTH THROUGH ARTS AND CULTURE

The festival is organised through the Silver Mountain Foundation which is a registered Non-profit Company (2018/079964/08). Our vision is to create more vibrant rural communities. We strive to empower rural youth to realise their full potential, through exposure to and participation in cultural and sporting activities. 
The foundation is actively engaged in promoting the development of arts and culture between Swellendam and Heidelberg. The festival takes place on South Africa's National Youth Day and is always combined with youth workshops and activities that expose children to some of South Africa's leading musicians.
