South Africa will join forty other Embassies in a wave of global culture that will sweep through The Hague during the fifth annual Embassy Festival that will take place on the picturesque Lange Voorhout from 12:00 – 20:00pm on 2 September 2017.
Visitors to the South African Pavillion as well as the various artistic performances could expect an innovative, free of charge musical programme featuring pop and rap, funk, afro soul, jazz and classical music, as well as South African and other culinary delights, theatre, literature, art, a kids compound and activities straddling our world.
According to the Embassy Festival organisers the Festival with its cultural richness concentrated on 500 metres strives to set an important social statement; cultural diversity brings atmosphere and togetherness. These are important values for South Africa as it is a country with a diverse populace, united in its diversity.
In this regard, South Africa sees the Embassy Festival as a unique platform to promote and create awareness about South Africa, but also to learn from the other countries participating.
South Africa’s participation will consist of the International Market as well as artistic performances.
All South Africans, their families and friends are invited to come and celebrate this day with us as we celebrate the sights, sounds and vibrancy of the South African generosity of spirit (UBUNTU).
