Hermanus FynArts returns from 6 to 14 June with a renewed focus on the arts, a new festival director, and a packed programme of music, books, sculpture, theatre, food and wine.

Creative Napier returned with a refreshed format, bringing together 23 artists across nine venues in a celebration of art, nature and community. From immersive exhibitions to workshops and live performances, this year’s route highlighted the depth of creative talent in the Overberg — and the stories behind the work.

With ten open studio venues, a mix of local and guest artists, live music, workshops and pop-up food experiences, visitors can explore the village at their own pace while moving between ceramics, painting, sculpture and more.
The R82 million Cape Agulhas Lighthouse Precinct Development—delivered through a partnership between the Department of Tourism and SANParks—was launched not just as a capital project, but as a statement of intent: to shift the country’s tourism gravity beyond its traditional anchors and into places where history, landscape, and community intersect.
At Air Force Base Overberg near Bredasdorp this past weekend, the South African Air Force (SAAF) opened its gates first to school learners on Friday, 20 March, before hosting a full Innovation Tech Show on Saturday. Across both days, the message was clear: aviation in South Africa is not just about legacy—it’s about continuity.
