Prepare yourself for Next Epic Plett’s Arts Festival 2025
From 3 to 12 October 2025, Plettenberg Bay transforms into an immersive cultural playground with the annual Plett Arts Festival. Kicking off in style, the Twilight Meander along Main Street promises an unforgettable opening night: gallery windows alight with cutting-edge exhibitions, live musicians perched on every corner, and the warm, convivial spirit for which Plett is renowned.
Over ten days, the Festival programme will showcase a rich tapestry of music concerts, theatrical performances, hands-on workshops, thought-provoking talks and visual-arts exhibitions—all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Tsitsikamma mountains, the Indian Ocean shoreline, verdant forests and endemic fynbos. Highlights include:
-
Plett Land Art Route: A signature Festival feature, this self-guided trail invites you to encounter ephemeral, site-specific artworks seamlessly integrated into the region’s natural environments.
-
Music & Performance: From intimate acoustic sessions in hidden courtyards to lively open-air concerts on the beach, the lineup caters to every taste and mood.
-
Workshops & Talks: Engage directly with leading artists, curators and cultural thinkers in sessions designed to inspire, challenge and foster creative collaboration.
With the full programme being finalised by the end of July—and accommodation specials to be announced on the Festival website early in the new year—now is the time to pencil in these dates and secure your stay. Whether you’re a seasoned art aficionado or simply seeking ten days of unforgettable entertainment and discovery, Plett Arts Festival delivers on all fronts.
Don’t just visit Plettenberg Bay—connect with its creative heartbeat. Come for the art, stay for the community, and leave inspired.
