The festival is held in venues across the Seychelles but the main event is opened in Victoria at the National Cultural Centre. Visitors wishing for a taste of the artistic scene in the Seychelles should not miss this event. Many of the artists draw inspiration from the Creole culture of the islands and this is evident in a lot of the artworks on display at the festival.
