Soweto Festival

Soweto Festival - Annually every Heritage Day Weekend. The rebirth of the very successful Soweto Homemakers Festival held 20 years ago is now bigger and better.

The venue is the magnificent Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown, the site of the signing of the historic Freedom Charter by anti-apartheid organisations in 1955. This is the ideal place for the people of Soweto to congregate over Heritage weekend as the Square is a national monument.

The Soweto Festival centres around an exhibition and day-long entertainment events. The exhibition comprises several hundred stands covering everything from travel, tourism, arts, crafts and property to hi-tech, furniture, health and beauty. SABC are major advertising and broadcast sponsors, while the Gauteng Tourist Authority and the Mayor of Johannesburg have given The Soweto Festival their full blessing.

Please Note: Dates for this event to be confirmed.
