The theme for this year’s festival is “A Day of Goodwill, Unity and Song”.
The event will see a state-of-the-art stage constructed at Cedar High, and you can enjoy a picnic vibe by buying food baskets and blankets at the event.
There will be a play area for the kids, with supervision, so mom and dad can enjoy the show. Various school musicians and bands, church choirs , klopse, dancers and comedians from the Cape Flats will be showcasing their talents.
