The Timber Faire (April)
Knysna was founded on timber and Knysna's Timber Fair is a celebration of our past, of the saving of the forest, and of the future. A family fun day.

The Nederburg Knysna Arts Experience (September/October)
Knysna boasts more artists per square metre than in any other small town in South Africa. With the advent of spring in September, Knysna's artists open all doors to the world. They are joined by visiting South African and international artists and the town is alive with visual art exhibitions, readings, theatre, music and dance. A full programme of lectures, workshops and demonstrations is provided, with wonderful local culinary delights.
