Hosted by the City's Economic Growth Directorate and endorsed by Ward Councillor Marita Petersen (Ward 68), the Steenberg Festival is the first of its kind in the area.

'I initiated the Steenberg Festival to promote Ward 68 to the wider community of Cape Town. The aim is to create a platform and opportunity for local vendors, artists and businesses to demonstrate their talents and skills. This festival will showcase what Ward 68 brings to the city. I encourage everyone to attend and not miss out,' said Councillor Petersen.

​​Bring your family and friends and enjoy live entertainment and engaging activities throughout the day. 

The festival details are:

• Thursday, 21 December from 18:00 until 22:00
• Friday, 22 December and Saturday 23 December from 14:00 to 22:00
• Venue: Allenby Drive Sports Ground, Retreat

'Shoppers, music lovers and anyone needing to make a last-minute gift purchase must check out the Steenberg Festival. It was so encouraging to see many vendor applications and I really must applaud Cape Town's traders for putting themselves up and applying to be part of this event. These markets and festivals help local traders to earn an income over the festive period. Studies also show that when people buy from small businesses, more money circulates within the community. So remember, when you're having a good time at the festival, you are also supporting local traders and our economy,' said Alderman James Vos, the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth.
