Maitisong Festival

The festival

Maitisong — "the place of entertainment" — is the great festival of the living arts of Botswana, born in 1987 around the Maitisong theatre of the Maru-a-Pula school in Gaborone. Theatre, dance, music, poetry and visual arts spread there for about ten days, between the big stage, school classes and squares of the capital, with workshops and masterclasses for young talent. The 2025 edition, under the theme "Home", made Gaborone vibrate from October 3 to 12.

This is the meeting where Botswana is told in stories, songs and shared scenes.
