The Festival will be in Kingsway Park on Leisure Isle. This is the thirteenth L. I. Festival organized by volunteers to benefit the wider Knysna community. It provides local crafters and small businesses a market place for their high quality products and provides opportunities for local charities to participate and raise funds. Once again special efforts will be made to provide emerging crafters an opportunity to showcase their products.
Stalls catering for every taste will offer a mouth-watering array of food and drink, as well as art and crafts, toys, a huge array of books and many other delights. Participating charities will be running the tea garden, book sale, a beer and wine bar and a number of other stalls. In addition activities such as the ever-popular barrel train and jumping castle for children will ensure that all ages are catered for.
