Splashy Fen FUN festivities return
Dubbed “South Africa’s Friendliest Festival” for its bias-free and judgement-free ethos, the popular Splashy Fen Music Festival is making a return to Drakensberg this April 2023.

What is it?
Splashy Fen is South Africa’s longest running and oldest music festival. The festival not only celebrates music but also life, art, people, love laughter, fun and enjoyment.

The first festival attracted around 400 musicians and festival goers, and by 1995, it had become the biggest music festival in the country, welcoming over 150 000 visitors each year.
