The recently declared world heritage site of St Lucia will host The Festival Of Living Treasures at Greater St Lucia Wetland Park on December 15 and 16. This mammoth festival, which is being held concurrently at the Shongweni Resources Reserve, will host a line up of top musicians from more than 20 countries and some of South Africa's leading performers.

This multi-cultural event, designed to bring the people of KZN together, has already been cited as “Africa's Greatest Music Celebration”. It promises to be exactly that and much more besides. The festival aims to excite, inform and create an international platform to market and promote the richly diverse culture and the superb natural heritage of this region of South Africa to the world. A special feature of this festival is the series of interactive workshops with the visiting stars and local musicians that will be open to members of the public.

Both venues are geared to attract day visitors as well as those who may wish to camp onsite. Booking through TicketWeb nationwide. Call 0861 400500 or visit http://www.ticketweb.co.za.
