The 2026 Vrystaat Arts Festival programme was launched in style at a relaxed garden party hosted at Koekela Huiskafee in Bloemfontein. Guests enjoyed a first taste of what’s to come as the official programme was handed to them in true artistic style, setting the stage for one festival, many stories.
