Taking place on the 27th of this month (December) at Adcock Stadium in Port Elizabeth, Nelson Mandela Bay, Ebubeleni Music Festival is ideally positioned during festive season on the last Saturday of December. The event is meant as homecoming for the people of the Bay, also as a yearly get-together affair for those who work and or study in different parts of the country. Those that are not from Nelson Mandela Bay are encouraged to embrace the event as part of the reason to holiday and spend part of their Xmas Holidays in the friendly city.
