About Suidoosterfees

The Suidoosterfees is a premier arts and culture festival held annually at the Artscape Theatre Centre in Cape Town. Named after the famous "South-Easter" wind, the festival serves as a platform for inclusivity and social cohesion, bringing together diverse communities through a vibrant showcase of South African talent. The program typically features a rich mix of professional theatre, classical and contemporary music, dance, and the popular Jakes Gerwel discussions, which focus on literature and current affairs. With its 2026 theme being "Home," the festival continues to be a vital cultural hub that celebrates the unique heritage of the Western Cape.
