MILK + COOKIES IS MORE THAN JUST A FESTIVAL

The Milk + Cookies Festival is a key event in the first-ever Milk + Cookies Music Week in South Africa, taking place from December 31, 2024, to January 11, 2025. The week begins in Cape Town with New Year’s celebrations, yacht parties, cultural activities, and unique fashion pop-ups featuring prominent local designers.

Throughout the week, local artists and DJs will set the mood for brunch mixers, encouraging creative interactions among artists from the U.S., South Africa, and various other African nations.
