meer oor
Musefees
Burgemeester Dirk Kotze is die Ambassadeur van die Musefees
Nie alleenlik val Groot-Brakrivier binne die Mosselbaai Munisipale-distrik wat deur die Mosselbaai Munisipaliteit bedien word nie, maar deur die aanbied van die Musefees word daar ’n addisionele platform vir die gemeenskap om direk die Burgemeester beter te leer ken en om die unieke dorp se inspirasie met hom te kan deel op ’n gemaklike, gemoedelike wyse.
Die passie en energie wat die Burgemeester reeds investeer in die Munisipale-area kan as inspirasie dien vir die gemeenskap – hy is ’n “muse” in eie reg.
Annual Event
To host an annual event that draws on the resourcefulness of the community, the surrounding beauty of Great Brak River, and its rich history, while fostering community unity and promote local attractions.
Economic Growth
To help promote Great Brak River in order to establish economic growth for the town.
Social Responsibility
The Musefestival is deeply rooted in social responsibility, prioritising sustainable practices, ethical collaboration, and inclusive programming. From supporting local artisans and businesses to creating platforms for underrepresented voices, the festival is committed to making a positive impact. More than just an event, it serves as a catalyst for community connection
As simbool van die Musefees beeld die “Happy Roses” – roomwit rose wat met ink gekleur word om hierdie unieke roosblare te skep – die veelkleurige hart van die Musefees perfek uit. Dit dien as inspirasie vir almal se muses om hul leefwêreld mee in te kleur en hul kreatiwiteit te laat blom.
Ontmoet ons span
Tydens die Musefees word die totale gemeenskap geïnspireer en saamgesnoer. Die Musefees skep die infrastruktuur en die geleentheid – dit staan individue en organisasies dus vry om betrokke te raak by wyse van werkswinkels, uitstallings en praatjies om die geleentheid aan te gryp, voorstelle en ’n inkomste te genereer vir hulself.

Mossel Bay Tourism
Mossel Bay’s vast array of recognisable locations, rich history and beautiful surroundings may well position it as the icon of the Garden Route and South Africa. It makes sense, then, that Mossel Bay receives the title of iconic – home to many memorable places and moments. Great Brak River, another iconic area of Mossel Bay and home of the Muse Festival, was built around the lagoon of the serpentine Great Brak River.
Visitors can enjoy sweeping panoramic views, beautiful beaches and experience numerous art, cycling and hiking routes as well as ample opportunities for bird and whale watching. Art galleries, fine dining, excursions to nearby game farms and annual events are on offer too.

It continues to thrive the past 18 years thanks to the support and enjoyment of its readers. For The Post’s team, integrity, carefully curated content, and visually appealing design are crucial to maintaining and growing this support.
