Newtown is the cultural hub of Jozi and there is culture here all year round: theatre, dance, photos, art. If you have still not been to Newtown, give it a try! These days its easy to get there off the M1: simply take the Carr Street/Newtown offramp.

Check out the events section to see what's cooking, and read some of the articles listed on the left-hand side of the home page. Find out why Museum Africa is one of Jozi's most popular destinations, and visit the Joburg 125 exhibition, celebrating the mining town's origins and history.
