Vendor applications open for the Steenberg Festival 2026
05 March 2026
The City is encouraging vendors to submit their applications to take part in the second Steenberg Festival, set for Friday, 27, and Saturday, 28 March 2026, at the Allenby Drive Sports Ground in Retreat.
Vendor applications are now open and will close on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.
The festival was initially scheduled to take place in December 2025 but the City opted to move the event to March upon feedback from the public regarding adverse weather.
‘March is still a good time of the year for Capetonians to get out and have fun at this free City event. And it is always a good time to support our local small businesses.
‘The Steenberg Festival is one of a number of City-supported events that offer a platform for small businesses to sell their goods and services and increase their profile,’ said Alderman James Vos, the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth.
