Executive head at Redhill School and festival director, Joseph Gerassi, said the Redhill Arts Festival offered an unprecedented level of entertainment.
“Where else in Joburg can people choose from such a diverse and high-quality selection of theatre productions and music acts, all in one venue?” he said.
This year’s theatre lineup includes Vincent, Actress, Every brilliant thing, The return of Elvis du Pisanie, Be a better dog and so much more.
The children’s line-up at the Redhill Arts Festival continues to offer top-notch entertainment. It features five spectacular professional children’s theatre productions, including The three billy goats gruff, The emperor’s new clothes and Space rocks.
This year’s renowned three-day Artisanal Market will showcase more than 60 high-end, carefully curated market stalls, proudly representing South African craftsmanship, at the Village on Oval.

This year’s RedFest also includes creative student works in our art exhibition, orchestra and choir festival, Sunday marimba festival, and some of the finalists in this year’s Feda - Festival of Excellence in Dramatic Arts - competition.
“One of the aims of the festival is to help grow a love of performing as well as support the arts from a very young age, which is crucial in nurturing future artists and fostering a vibrant cultural community.”
