Safe Town Fest
A Freedom Day Celebration with Purpose
Safe Town Fest 2026 is more than a festival. It is a movement born from the Safe Town Global Initiative — a purpose-driven effort to build safer, stronger and more united communities across South Africa. This Freedom Day celebration is designed not only to entertain, but to uplift, educate and inspire meaningful change.
On 27 April 2026, Athlone Stadium transforms into a powerful hub of culture, music and community impact. The festival opens at 9:00 AM with a vibrant Family Market and Experience Zone, featuring over 50 stalls offering authentic South African cuisine, local fashion, handmade crafts and interactive games for all ages. This is where community meets opportunity: families, small businesses and local creators all sharing in a celebration that boosts the local economy and supports entrepreneurship.
Safe Town Fest also introduces inter-town paintball games designed to build unity among communities, dynamic self-defence demonstrations by world-class experts, and exclusive wine-tasting sessions featuring premium South African wines paired with venison and artisan chocolate. Every activity serves a purpose — to build confidence, connection, awareness and hope.
As the sun sets, the real energy begins. From 17:00 to 22:00, the Safe Town Freedom Day Concert lights up the stadium with top South African DJs, leading hip-hop stars and international guest performers. It is a night of electrifying performances, powerful messages and a united crowd standing for freedom, safety and cultural pride.

A Movement for Change
Safe Town Fest is deeply rooted in this mission. Through the Remembrance Foundation and our global initiative, we focus on mentoring young men, empowering young women, supporting families and creating opportunities in local communities. Each festival is part of a larger effort to break cycles of violence, poverty, inequality and social division, while bringing hope, education, business opportunities and unity to the forefront.
Safe Town Fest 2026 combines music and meaning, celebration and education, unity and purpose. It is a call to action for individuals, communities, artists, leaders and sponsors to come together and build the safer, stronger and more hopeful South Africa we all deserve.
