The Joburg City Tourism Association (JCTA) will host the first Joburg City Festival scheduled for the week between Joy of Jazz and Arts Alive, meaning the inner city will come abuzz with activities for three weeks.
The Joburg City Festival will run over nine days and the official programme will offer something for everyone – from art and cultural activations to tours, music, dance parties, street sports, fashion and lots more.
“We are excited about the very first festival as it is ideally scheduled to link the two big cultural festivals, Joy of Jazz and Arts Alive, giving tourists, city dwellers and suburbanites an opportunity to explore their city. We hope that in future these three weeks of festivities will put Johannesburg on the map as a destination for winter breaks. The city has been undergoing a massive rejuvenation and the Joburg City Tourism Association endeavours to promote this and the city’s heritage through the festival,” says Margeaux Swartz, JCTA Director.
The festival will take place in all precincts from Braamfontein to Newtown; Maboneng and the Mining District to name a few.
The official programme for the Joburg City Festival will be available on Gautrain maps; Caxton Looklocal websites and the official website for Joburg City www.joburgcity.net and www.facebook.com/joburgcity.net
