the country’s overall image. The festival serves as a platform for these exceptional young
entrepreneurs to showcase their brands, products, and services to a diverse audience, offering
an immersive entertainment experience.

Throughout the two days, attendees will be immersed in an atmosphere buzzing with
entrepreneurial energy. They will have the opportunity to engage directly with the brand
creators, interact with the showcased products and services, and discover exciting local brands
they may not have been aware of before. Supporting local businesses and learning about their
unique offerings will be at the forefront of this festival.

The Festival is dedicated to creating opportunities for the youth, and as such, many young
people are involved in bringing the festival to life. Renowned marketers and entrepreneurs,
including Thebe Ikalafeng, Lebo Lion, Bulelani Balabala, Miles Kubheka, Tshepo Mohala, and
Mbali Sebapu, will conduct insightful masterclasses.

In addition to performances and masterclasses, the festival will offer engaging activities that
encourage participation, creating an immersive and dynamic experience for all attendees. This
event is not only a celebration of the passion, drive, and talent of youth-owned brands, but also
a recognition of the expressive visionaries.
