Baos and burgers between bands, wine tasting with local producers and creative play for the kids – all wrapped up in one blissful day. Bliss Family Festival has revealed its music line-up, food vendors and activities ahead of its debut at La Paris Estate in Franschhoek on Saturday, 31 October 2026.

Supported by Standard Bank Private, the festival brings together South African music, the Bliss Market and experiences for children, teens and adults, making it a day out for the whole family.
The programme includes:
• Live music from Jeremy Loops, Arno Carstens, RAAF, Saxby Twins, The Starlight Band,
Basson Laubscher & The Violent Free Peace, Wren Hinds Band, and DJ Ricky H with Jamie
Faull, with Liezel van der Westhuizen as MC.
• Children’s activities including Draw your Bliss, Origami and the BLISS Creative Play Lab.
• Teen experiences including World is your canvas, Silent Disco, Karaoke and the ever popular chance to explore a few Thrifting stands.
Good music tastes even better with something delicious in hand. The Bliss Market’s carefully selected vendors will serve baos and dumplings from How Bao Now, poke bowls from Poke Co, Wagyu burgers from Zuneys, and wood-fired and children’s pizzas from EarthFire Pizza. Le Charcuteria brings mini charcuterie bowls, Nourished offers vegetarian and vegan food and matcha, Gusto Paella serves paella pans, and Gelato Mania adds Italian gelato.
A hand-selected collection of premium local wine farms will offer a taste of the Winelands, inviting visitors to discover new favourites and meet the people behind the labels while the music plays. Premium bars and covered seating areas complete the setting.
Tickets include the full music line-up, family-friendly activities, covered seating, chilled purified drinking water and free parking. Guests aged 18 and over also receive a complimentary glass of wine, beer or cider on arrival. Food, additional drinks, some activities and Thrift purchases are charged separately.
