Up the Creek- it's all about having fun!

Every year, around 3000 music lovers gather in the historic town of Swellendam, on the foot of the Langenberg Mountains, for a four day, intimate, outdoor music festival. The festival aims at honoring South Africa’s best music talent while providing festival-goers with outstanding facilities and a comfortable camping experience on the banks of the Breede River.
