The festival sponsored by LottoStar, taking place on September 20 and 21, is expected to be a culinary experience with captivating performances.

“It’s incredible to be back at the iconic Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit. We can’t wait to welcome fans to a weekend that celebrates us all through music and food as we come together during Heritage Month,” said festival marketing director Funeka Peppeta. 

“We’re proud to announce the phenomenal artist line-up for Sunday, with Saturday’s main acts and the Channel O Dance Stage line-up to be revealed soon. This year promises to be an unforgettable experience, from world-class music to bold culinary, art and fashion moments that reflect the rich diversity of our country and heritage.
