One day. One destination. Endless experiences.
Familie Fest is more than a music festival. While the South African live acts are still to be announced, the 2027 event promises a full day of outdoor entertainment, activities and family fun.
Beyond the live music, Familie Fest 2027 will feature:
- Arts and crafts
- A car show
- 4x4 adventures
- Kids entertainment
- Outdoor activities
- Food stalls
Families and groups are welcome, with dedicated kids' tickets and group specials available for larger crews. All ages can attend, although the bar area is reserved for over-18s.
Want to make a weekend of it? On-site camping is available, with packages including a campsite, toilets, showers and security. Camping tickets are sold separately, so you’ll need a festival ticket as well.
