Nestled in the Hidden Valley, stretching alongside the magnificent Mooi River, the Southern Cross Farm has been hailed as the “perfect festival venue” – not only because of it’s beauty and natural amphitheatre, but also due to the fact that the camping facilities offered are second to none! Flushing toilets and hot showers! Bliss!
“The Southern Cross setting leaves you feeling like nothing is important – the middle east becomes as vital as winning the next card game, The only Bush you care about is the one giving you shade, and whether or not to have another beer is the toughest decision you have to make… ” Anne T. Lope – Festivals.co.za
The September Spring festival will appeal to music lovers across the age and race spectrum who enjoy the river, mountains, and filling the lungs with pure, clean air!
