The Vrystaat Arts Festival, initially called Die Volksblad Kunstefees, is an Afrikaans inclusive festival, that dates back to 2001. The week long festival is on its last day at the University of the Free State.
The chilly winter weather did not deter patrons as they came in their numbers to enjoy themselves.
The festival gives artists a platform to showcase their talents.
Thabiso Ngatane, who is a crafter, appreciates the exposure.
It is the nice atmosphere, its just that the weather today, but its okay, What makes it tick? I would say the atmosphere, then the turn up of the people seeing the creative arts that we here for anyway. But, I would say its a nice environment. Business is good because like yesterday we got lot of support even the other people that managed to come back today.
