November Festivals and Events in Africa

Woodstock is celebrated in South Africa this November, not in Woodstock, but at River Sands Farm in Johannesburg. Join thousands of young South Africans and camp at this 4 day celebration of music, dance and extreme sports.

If you're a movie buff you will certainly enjoy one of the most important film festivals held in November in Cairo. The festival will feature shorts, documentaries and full length movies from around the region.

Ghana livens up (even more) in November with a wonderful display of chiefs in their finest regalia accompanied by drumming and dancing for the Hogbetsotso Festival.

If you're in Mombasa enjoying the beach, don't miss out on the great carnival and parade held annually down the main streets of the city.
