SA Easter Festival Road Trip: Splashy Fen & KKNK

festival101za | 2 April 2026

Your Great Easter Adventure ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

The bags are packed, and the playlists are curated because the open road is calling us!

Easter in South Africa represents the unofficial closing ceremony of the peak outdoor season, and we are treating this four-day break as the ultimate migration across the provinces.

Whether you are aiming for the foothills of the Drakensberg or the heart of the Karoo, the journey will be gorgeous, whether rain or (hopefully) shine!

For those chasing the legendary folk vibes and mountain air of Splashy Fen fest in Underberg, the experience starts long before the first guitar string hums.๐ŸŽธ

You can feel the anticipation building as you hit the N3, and we suggest a stop in Nottingham Road to sample some local craft beer before the mud and music take over.

If your heart is set on the arts and theatre of the kknkfees in Oudtshoorn, though, the drive through the Tradouw Pass offers genuinely life-changing views that prepare the soul for that unique Karoo hospitality. (no shade, no shade๐Ÿ˜†)

Sign up to our newsletter here to find out more and grab those tickets before the last of the warmth dies down, and weโ€™re back to stomping it out in the rain! ๐Ÿ˜†
