CottonFest is close to our heart. In 2018, our director, Alain Ferrier, partnered with the late Riky Rick to create one of South Africa’s most popular youth-focused music and culture festivals. Growing from 4,000 to 12,500 attendees each year, CottonFest showcases the best in current and emerging music, earning its place as the premier youth festival in Johannesburg and the country. Beanstalk has produced the festival annually, continually pioneering creative youth moments and nurturing a beloved brand.
