The Absa Delicious Festival is a first-of-its-kind showcase of the country’s finest creatives in food, music, art, and fashion alongside some of the most sought-after international talent. It is where people come together: around a table, beneath the stage lights, through a favourite song, a memorable meal, a discovery, or a moment shared with the people who matter most. It is a platform where cultures meet, talent shines, and stories unfold.
At Absa, Your Story Matters, and so the bank is investing in an experience that celebrates the stories that make South Africa remarkable. At the Absa Delicious Festival in partnership with SABC, festivalgoers can look forward to an unforgettable weekend of world-class entertainment, exceptional food, cultural expression and the best of South African and international talent. Through this new partnership, Absa brings its customers closer to the experiences they love, with exclusive benefits, added value and new ways to enjoy the festival. Further details, including artist announcements, ticket information and customer experiences, will be revealed in the months ahead.
There’s no Delicious Festival without the food. Festival attendees can expect a curated culinary experience featuring 45+ stalls and food trucks, with dining highlights including Gourmet Kotas, Sumting Fresh baos/sauces, African cuisine, Asian fusion and dishes from the Traders Academy graduates.
For years, Delicious has created a space for thousands of South Africans to gather with family and friends, enjoy a huge variety of different food, and experience standout local and global performers. The next chapter builds on that legacy while expanding the platform for the people behind the magic: artists, chefs, entrepreneurs, designers, and other creative voices shaping the country’s cultural future.
