The countdown has begun to Pretoria’s most exciting multicultural arts festival, The Finery Fair which is being hosted this year at Kievits Kroon Country Estate over Heritage Day weekend, 24 and 25 September.
The festival includes all forms of art from cooking to theatre, music, fine art and fashion, and this year the organisers have confirmed 80 quality Finery Makers (vendors), who will sell a variety of products from leather, jewellery, clothes, children’s merchandise, body products, pottery, décor and more. During the course of the weekend there will also be theatre productions, craft workshops, an art exhibition, an exciting line-up of local bands and a wide selection of food, wine, craft gin, whiskey and beer.
On Saturday the live music programme includes newcomer Kate Rok, the ever entertaining Silver Creek Mountain Band and, fresh off their European tour, Bottomless Coffee Band. On Sunday the husky voice of Suzzi Swanepoel will entertain, before the Master of Blues Gerald Clark takes the stage. Georgetown band will end the weekend’s celebrations.
Two theatre productions will have a run on Saturday and Sunday. Monopoly, written by Corne Joubert, is an Afrikaans tragi-comedy about a couple on honeymoon who realise they have absolutely nothing in common except physical attraction, and stars award-winning actress Stephanie Gericke, Herman Vorster and Reggie Goodwin.
Here’s the weekend lineup.
Tickets can be booked online at R120 each, or purchased at the gate for R150 each. Theatre seats must be booked in advance. Click here to book!
