PHAKAMA MPUMALANGA FESTIVAL

Step into the heartbeat of Mpumalanga!

The Phakama Mpumalanga Festival is more than a celebration — it’s a cultural explosion of music, fashion, art, and identity. Over two unforgettable days, White River transforms into a living, breathing showcase of local talent, authentic storytelling, and creative pride.

Expect a dynamic line-up of live performances from Mpumalanga’s rising stars and headline acts, cutting-edge fashion showcases, vibrant art installations, immersive exhibitions, pop-up markets, food, dance, poetry — and moments that move your soul.

This year’s theme, “Show Your True Colours,” invites YOU to come as you are, to celebrate your roots, and to witness the power of expression through the voices, styles, and visions of our people.

Whether you're a lover of the arts, a culture-seeker, a tourist looking for something fresh, or just in search of a weekend that feels alive — Phakama is where you belong.

Don’t miss out. Come vibe, come be inspired, come see Mpumalanga in full colour.
