According to Tessa Crowder, from In House Agency, festival-goers can look forward to cherry-inspired treats, local food stalls, kids’ entertainment, and a bustling market filled with artisan crafts and handmade delights. She says against the backdrop of a setting sun, the energy will rise with live performances by Refentse and Die Piesangskille. This will provide the perfect soundtrack to a summer evening under the Ceres stars.
