The Mitchells Plain Festival is a vibrant annual event that celebrates the rich culture and community spirit of Mitchells Plain, a large suburb on the Cape Flats in Cape Town, South Africa. Launched in 2009 to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Mitchells Plain, the festival was established to showcase local talent, foster community pride, and stimulate economic opportunities for residents. The festival has since grown into one of the most anticipated events in the area, attracting thousands of visitors each year and offering a platform for local businesses, artists, and performers to shine.

By providing a positive and festive environment, the Mitchells Plain Festival aims to unite the community and promote a sense of pride and belonging. The event also highlights the resilience and creativity of the people, with a focus on the cultural heritage and the diversity of the Cape Flats region.
