For arts-lovers in South Africa, the month of July has become synonymous with the National Arts Festival at Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape, which also features a vibrant Fringe festival.

Since its inception in 1974, the festival has helped to shape the whole country's arts and culture. Grahamstown comes alive with performers who present everything from drama, dance, opera, music and cabaret to exhibitions, films, talks and lectures. While the main festival offers the best in local artists and performers, the Fringe focuses on the new and up-and-coming.
