The 44th National Arts Festival will open on 28 June and the citizens of Grahamstown have rolled up their sleeves to get the town ready for visitors to the annual arts gathering.
“We have been encouraged by the proactive way in which a group of businesses, committed government officials and some of our energetic residents have united to get involved in making Grahamstown a town we can all be proud of,” says National Arts Festival CEO Tony Lankester. “The activity ahead of the Festival is in full swing and visitors will be greeted by a clean and welcoming Grahamstown.”
From patching roads and filling potholes to clean-up campaigns initiated by the local schools, there is a lot going on behind the scenes to accommodate the Festival influx.
