It’s the first day of fest…
The quiet little town hosting the National Arts Festival is about to come alive…
Art!
Music!
Poetry!
Food!
Comedy!
Physical Theatre!
Dance!
Drama!
Jazz!
Cabaret!
The options are endless… (insert overwhelmed here)
Have a look at the official NAF site to check out the amazing line-up and book some fringe shows.
It seems a little quiet. We are waiting for the crowds to pull in and support the fest.
In the meantime, I go for a walk while I have time…
Sooooooo I decided to have a look at the stalls over at the Village Green.
I decided to snap a few shots and put together a quick post.
Now if you are a lover of local goods, the festival is heaven for your “shopping-tande”.
Have a look at some of my absolute favourite stalls:
These bottled goodies are definitely a must.
Bottled Jalapeños, pepperdews and the most amazing chunky chutney.
Delicious and oh so affordable.
Stop over in tent 1.
The most beautiful handmade beadwork you can find all over the fest.
Ohhhh I love me some snoods when in Grahamstown.
This stall has a colour for everyone!
Around every corner you can also find unique wooden art décor pieces.
For moms with kiddies, you can enjoy a puppet show or lunch with the munchkins inside the kids tent.
You can also purchase these colourful fellas at puppet company stall.
Some precious succulents will make some sweet gifts if you are shopping for gifts.
Some handmade bathsalts and fizz cakes also make some special gifts.
This stall here is a must when at the fest.
Freshly squeezed orange juice for a kick of Vitamin C!
Something sweet, something small…
This is my absolute most favourite stall…
The Laugh It Off tShirt stall.
#Africa and the most beautiful and simple but sooo creative.
And lastly the best returning stall at the National Arts fest – InStep Jbay Boots!
These boots last FOREVERRRRRRRRR!
I have my eyes on this season’s buckle booty.
R600 only! For a pair of fabulous leather boots.
So make your way to the fest for some great shiws and a little bit of shopping on the side!
Until next time!
