One of SA’s biggest culture gatherings, Cotton Fest is coming to Cape Town this summer break. Announced by festival organizers today, the first Cotton Fest Cape Town will take place at the Paarden Eiland Park on Saturday, 10th December 2022.
Created by global music and fashion icon Riky Rick, the festival exploded in popularity back in 2019 featuring over 150 artists. More than just a festival, this youth culture gathering celebrates the new wave of music, fashion and lifestyle. Mainly known for merging both established and upcoming South African talent, Cotton Fest also showcases the diversities in music while fusing the gaps within the different local current movements.

This action packed festival will not only showcase the diversities in the different popular music genres, but will also feature various lifestyle elements existing within the ‘culture,’ including fashion and sport.
“With what started out as a great idea between Riky and I many years ago, to a whole culture movement called Cotton Fest. Alongside his family, we are extremely excited to be building on his legacy and extending the festival to my city, which was always part of our plans.” says co-founder Alain Ferrier. “ Cape Town, you’re up next, the University of Cotton Fest will officially open for registration next week.”
