This year's Innibos has a green haze about it. Cos this year's theme is 100% Bosbewus (literally, "bush aware").
 Already a hot favourite on the Lowveld's entertainment calendar, Innebos will be hosting top evergreen artists like Johnny Clegg, Chris Chameleon, Steve Hofmeyr
and Sandra Prinsloo to entertain the festival goers AND
specific conservation projects will also be launched.
A huge
recycling project, which is supported by one of the festival's green partners,
Sappi, will be undertaken on the festival grounds, which cater for approximately
100 000 festival goers. Special recycling points for recyclable items such as
glass, cans and paper will be seen everywhere on the grounds and 'Green
Ambassadors' will provide on-the-spot information.
Some of the sponsors
like Standard Bank, Vodacom, Sappi and Coca-Cola are also going to embark on
their own green projects to form part of the Bosbewus campaign.
Once again, the festival programme is packed with the best entertainment: theatre, comedy, drama, cabaret ...
One of this year's highlights is the light classical programme which will
be hosted in the Lowveld Botanical Gardens - featuring Ladismith Black Mumbazo, the
Bala brothers and Zanne Stapelberg ...
And of course, more than 40 of South Africa's top artists will be performing on the Standard Bank stage every night - the likes of Kurt Darren, Emo Adams, Mango Groove, Eden, Nicholis
Louw ...
And of course, there'll be heaps of yummy food and
interesting art stalls, and a few open stages with daytime
entertainment.
Innibos will once again do the popular Boeke-Ontbyt (Book Breakfast) , the popular Boeke-crawl and a
number of select art exhibitions including a solo exhibition by well known South
African artist, Bettie Cilliers-Barnard.
Innibos attracted more than 100
000 visitors in 2008, and promises to hit the target again in 2009 with awesome entertainment and a strong conservation message which will make a deep impact. Innibos is putting on its finest green coat this year!
