Johannesburg, South Africa – With less than 8 weeks remaining until the highly anticipated annual lifestyle and entertainment event of the year, the Cotton Fest family is thrilled to unveil The Cotton Fest Exchange — a revolutionary new initiative supported by the cultural pioneers at Play Braam launching this month.
This bold initiative has been designed to bring the creative community together, providing a platform for individuals to connect, share their expertise, and showcase their talents alongside like-minded peers in music, fashion and art. A hub that will support young people and play a part in shaping the future of the cultural movement.
Launching on Monday, 10th March at The Hub, located at 68 Juta Street in Braamfontein, the Cotton Fest Exchange will serve as a dynamic, safe space where innovation thrives and the voices of young, emerging artists and entrepreneurs are elevated. Open to the public during business hours during the week, the venue will function as a collaborative working space, fostering creativity and connection.
The Cotton Fest Exchange officially opens its doors on Monday, 10 March 2025, and will open until 31 July 2025, every weekday from 12pm – 5pm. That’s four months of boundless inspiration, collaboration, and creative elevation.
In an on-going commitment to honour Riky Rick’s legacy and vision – believing in the power and potential of young people, the Cotton Fest Exchange aims to create an environment where creativity and passion is supported.
The movement continues. The culture lives on. And this is a call for everyone to become part of the movement. Let’s create, connect, and keep pushing the culture forward! The Cotton Fest Exchange isn’t just a fleeting moment: it’s a living, breathing movement.
Together, we can build, dream, and shape our community for the future.
WE NEVER DIE. WE MULTIPLY!!!
