Wakkerstroom to host art and wine Festival
Save the date for Saturday, November 25, to enjoy an outing to Wakkerstroom and spend some time hunting for gifts, and support the local artists.
November 25: All small towns are known to be arty in nature, and Wakkerstroom is high on the list of ‘platteland’ towns meeting that criterion, with an annual music festival and arts and crafts fair.
Combined with the many resident artists who get easily inspired by the changing colours of the landscape, sunsets, wildflowers, farm life, animals, birds, and people, many of these don’t consider themselves artists but produce amazing work, so let’s call them undiscovered if you wish!
There will be watercolours, oil paints, and even pencil drawings.
There’s another popular saying about Wakkerstroom being known “as a birding town with a drinking problem”, or was it “a drinking town with a birding problem?”
And so, yes, Wakkerstroomers and its visitors are certainly known to also love their wine.
Wine is also an art:
That’s why the organisers have paired the Art in Park idea in the beautiful summer garden of DeKotzenhof from 10:00 to 15:00 with free entrance and a wine tasting by Johan Kriegler from Vinemark at R50 per person from 2:30 at the same venue.
Like art, everyone has their own taste preferences – so it’s great to get the opportunity to try before you buy.
All profits from the wine tasting will go to Operation Snowdrop, which does wonderful work in Wakkerstroom and beyond.
