The Mangaung African Cultural Festival (MACUFE) is an annual showcase of African arts, culture and various sports disciplines that takes place in Bloemfontein, South Africa. It is one of the largest emerging festivals in Africa; it grew from having an audience of 30 000 in 1997 to 140 000 in 2015.[1]

The festival runs for 10 days beginning on the first week of October each year in the Free State province of South Africa.

MACUFE consists of a main musical festival, an arts and crafts exhibition, theatre productions, a beauty pageant, the Sparta Macufe Cup which is a soccer tournament at the Free State stadium and performing arts.[2] It also hosts an official corporate village where there are brand specific lounges, each with their own client service personnel.
