National Arts Festival

The National Arts Festival or NAF is known as the largest celebration of African arts, not only in South Africa itself but on the entire continent. It is attended annually by hundreds of thousands from across the world and the host city is Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape Province. Performances are held in over 60 venues, including theatres, schools, and churches. The town is quite compact so it is fairly easy to get around.

Typically, the versatile program features performing arts such as theatre, stand-up comedy, dance and live music, as well as visual art exhibitions, films, workshops, talks, food and craft fairs, and even historical city tours. The main feature of the festival, as organizers claim, is that the art they showcase is modern and responds to current events.
