Music Fun for Kids at the Valley of Dreams Music Festival

Festival organisers invite the whole family to join the first Valley of Dreams Music Festival set against the stunning backdrop of the Baakens Valley, on Saturday, 30 November.

Russel Sneyd, owner of RhythmWorx Kids, will be leading a lively workshop for kids to explore their musical talents and creativity via drums, flutes and Kids Karaoke from 12.00 to 18.00 in the Kids Play Park.

Kids can learn and play together in a cajon drumming group class, explore sound and rhythm with Boomwhackers, using visual cues to create music, and have a blast singing their favorite songs in a Kids’ Karaoke session. The Kids Play Park will also offer jumping castles, giant lawn games, putt-putt and face painting.

Russel, a well-known professional musician from Gqeberha, will also be drumming for The Reunion, the opening act for Just Jinjer at the Festival.

The Reunion is a dynamic five-piece band based in Gqeberha, renowned for delivering an unforgettable experience to music lovers and partygoers alike. With a diverse range of influences, The Reunion has something for everyone and is always able to get the audiences’ feet stomping and hands clapping as they sing along to their favorite songs. They will be performing at 19h00 and will be joined on stage by popular local duo Big Man & Bear.

Top local musicians will perform from 12.00, when the Music Festival starts, to 16.00, followed by performances from Jordan Arts, Rubber Duc, The Reunion and finally Just Jinjer.

The festival will host a jam-packed programme from 12.00 until 23.00, a superb mix of food and craft trucks, family-friendly picnic benches, and a Kids Play Park. Alabaster Street will be closed for the day and Festival goers will find convenient parking accessible from both Upper and Lower Valley roads.

Festival organiser, Dante Cicognini, said the event would serve as a fundraiser to maintain and improve the Baakens Valley.

“Through the Baakens Valley Business cluster we plan on running this event annually to raise funds to tackle many projects.

“By securing the necessary funding and support, we believe that we can transform Nelson Mandela Bay’s green lung into a safe, vibrant, and sustainable space that benefits the entire community,” he said.

Tickets cost between R120 and R250 and are available via Webtickets.
