Vrystaat Kunstefees

We are going to transform the festival grounds with bold color, enticing aromas, and boundary-breaking excitement for young and old alike.

The Free state Arts Festival Art Market is not only a cornerstone of the festival, but also a vibrant economic driver for the entire Free State. With more than 300 stalls filled with handmade treasures, delicious food, and the finest brews, it is all infused with the heartbeat of community groups and exceptional lekker local talent.

Join us, along with the many wonderful people travelling to Bloemfontein from across South Africa and even beyond our beautiful country’s borders, to celebrate and enjoy the diverse programs of the Free state Arts Festival and the cultural explosion that the Art Market has to offer.
