The Maitisong Festival is Botswana's biggest annual festival of performing arts. It takes place in several venues around the capital city of Gaborone and there are no holds barred - so expect the unusual!
The outdoor programme of theatre, music and dance takes place on stages in four different locations with an amazing variety of performances, where the classical often shares the same space as the modern. Also on offer is traditional dance, choir and marimba music and solo singing. Even in the intervals, the entertainment doesn't stop - impromptu musicians, dancers and comics get up on stage to keep everyone happy!
There is a real buzz throughout Gaborone during the festival. Stalls serve food and drink and the streets are alive with spectators and performers alike.
