Event information
The 2024 Kalfiefees program is packed with performances by world-class artists from all over the country. Festivalgoers can look forward to drama and comedy, music, dance, children’s theatre, book discussions, art and lifestyle.
This year's entertainment lineup includes Sandra Prinsloo, Tobie Cronjé, Deon Meyer, Elzabé Zietsman, Neil Sandilands, Frazer Barry, Lyntjie Jaars, Schalk Joubert, Jak de Priester, Amanda Strydom, Jannie du Toit, Daniel Anderson, Mel die storieverteller, Lara Hattingh, Jeremeo le Cordeur, Dean Smith, Ignatius van Heerden and many more.
The Kalfiefees supports various community projects in the Overstrand. Since 2023, StoryTeam and The Cave Theatre at the Old Harbour-museum in Hermanus have been creating a space for young actors to develop their skills. This year, profits from ticket sales will be used to improve this creative space and develop more talent.
Local schools are allowed to present their productions, so that children and students may perform professionally. This year the school productions, Skaakmat and (Oor)Vloed will be presented, with Creative Space Hawston, the Catapult Foundation and Pierre & Pauli Productions, as well as Star Search Overstrand.
All proceeds from book presentations will support a project in Zwelihle and Mount Pleasant where volunteers read to children on a weekly basis. A school bag and stationary drive for needy grade 1 learners is also supported, which makes a huge difference at the start of each school year.
Apart from the festival’s varying offers of theatre, music, art and lifestyle, the Overstrand offers an exceptional choice in restaurants and wine farms, and activities like walking trails.
