Pull up a chair for the Kalfiefees
Writer Hedda Mittner
The Hermanus Times Kalfiefees will be back for the 19th time with an exciting programme of top-notch theatre productions, music performances, book discussions, children’s entertainment and an art exhibition from 8 – 11 August. The main venues for the Kalfiefees events are the De Wet Hall in Onrus, the Sandbaai Hall and the Municipal Auditorium in Hermanus.

The festival hub will be at a new venue this year, the Hemel-en-Aarde Brewery in Hemel-en-Aarde Village, which is conveniently situated at the Sandbaai intersection, halfway between Onrus and Hermanus. Here festivalgoers will be able to find refuge when the weather is inhospitable and there will be more than enough to eat and drink between shows. Live music by local performers will add to the festive ambience and on Saturday, Whale Coast FM will be broadcasting live from the brewery.
The Kalfiefees traditionally takes place over the Women’s Day long weekend and will again offer a special Women’s Day celebration on the Friday entitled ‘Op reis met musiek, kos en humor’ (Travels with music, food and humour), presented by South Africa’s own Pavarotti, Kevin Leo. Kevin will not only enchant the ladies with his talent and love of music, but also share his passion for food with a cooking demonstration. This event will be hosted at the Hemel-en- Aarde Brewery on Friday 9 August at 10:00. Tickets are R190 pp.
Although the Kalfiefees is primarily an Afrikaans festival, there will be more than enough for English-speaking folk to enjoy. After all, music speaks a universal language and this year’s festival offers several not-tobe-missed performances.
