Hey Neighbour Festival, a vibrant celebration of music, art, culture, and community today announced its partnership with AXE South Africa, promising festival goers an unforgettable experiece that celebrates the unifying power of music, diversity, creativity and meaningful connections.
“We’re thrilled to welcome AXE as our partner for this year’s Hey Neighbour Festival,” said managing director of the festival Glen. AXE’s dedication to enhancing the festival experience through sampling opportunities, he said, aligns perfectly with our mission to create moments of joy and connection that are simply unforgettable. “Together, we’re poised to make this festival season the best one yet.”

This, according to Heineken, forms part of the brand’s mission to spark connections and break down barriers which aligns with Hey Neighbour’s ethos of turning strangers into neighbours. “This dynamic partnership is all about synergy,” organisers said in a media statement.
