📍 Hosted at Afrikaans Hoërskool Germiston, this once-a-year community celebration brings people from all walks of life together on one epic day — 30 August 2025 — to fundraise, uplift, and ignite hope through the power of arts, culture, and unity.

💜 WHY WE GATHER
This is more than a festival. It’s a fundraiser for our school’s new pavilion and a celebration of our roots — the foundation we’re built on — and our wings — the dreams we’re nurturing. It’s about rising together, supporting local talent, rebuilding with purpose, and creating joyful spaces where everyone is welcome.

Whether you’re 5 or 85, a student, a parent, a local business, or just someone who loves good music and better vibes — this day is for you.
