We crossed the finish line and concluded a wonderful festival. Thank you to our dedicated artists \u2013 you give our festival life. And to all our loyal festival goers \u2013 you keep the festival alive.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very pleased with the quality of performances at this year\u2019s Woordfees, as well as ticket sales,\u201d says Saartjie Botha<\/strong>, director of the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gratifying that so many of the shows were sold out. This was also the first time in our history that a minister of sport, arts, and culture attended the Woordfees. We look forward to a special 25th festival in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to our main sponsors (Toyota, Het Jan Marais Nationale Fonds, Stellenbosch University & Netwerk24), gold sponsors (EasyEquities & kykNET), silver sponsors, bronze sponsors, trusts and donors, project sponsors, product sponsors, media partners, publishers, venue sponsors and accommodation partners. We could not do it without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to everyone who put up a banner, set up a venue, and volunteered their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the Stellenbosch municipality \u2013 thank you for skilled cooperation and service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now for the rest of spring \u2013 go out and play! We will see you in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
