Just call me a taste tourist…

Regardless of what shows may come and go, one thing remains certain about Festival time – the Village Green.

Regardless of what shows may come and go, one thing remains certain about Festival time – the Village Green.

With a number of stalls filled with arts and crafts from some of South Africa’s best artists and craftsmen, there you can feast your eyes on their work, or buy a piece to take back home.

If it's not arts and crafts that tickle your fancy, however, there will be a number of different kinds of entertainment that will definitely please all ages, including local and international music performances.

But for many the best part of Village Green is definitely the food.

There are food stalls selling delicious delicacies from around the world.

Choose from among Chinese, Greek and Italian dishes, or sample the wonderful affordable meals offered by the volunteers at the Hare Krishna stall.

Then there are some amazing proudly South African kudu burgers, as well as salads for the health freaks.

And you cannot leave Village Green without tasting the mini-doughnuts: a tray of delicious doughnuts covered in decadent chocolate or caramel sauce – by far my favourite Festival treat.

You have not experienced Festival if you have not been to the Village Green.

It is the most interesting combination of tastes, sights and sounds you will ever experience.

According to the Grahamstown Foundation, the Village Green has grown from just over 100 stalls in 1989 to over a thousand in more recent years.

The Village Green however not only has entertainment and food that will keep the whole family happy but is environmentally friendly as well.

According to Cue, Greening the Green is a recycling initiative that was started in 2010.

Recycling bins will be placed all around the Village Green making it easy for our festival goers to stay green and recycle while having fun.
