The story

Klein Karoo Klassique in Oudtshoorn

Klein Karoo Klassique is an event branded under this name in Oudtshoorn, the Klein Karoo's largest town and home of South Africa's major Afrikaans arts festival, KKNK. A dedicated event listing for Klein Karoo Klassique exists, confirming it as a real, distinct entity, but its specific format, dates and history could not be independently confirmed.

Oudtshoorn is the principal town of the Klein Karoo, a semi-arid basin in South Africa's Western Cape known historically for its ostrich-feather boom in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when feather prices rivaled gold and diamonds and local farmers built ornate sandstone 'feather palaces' with the proceeds.
