SUNSCREEN and sun hats will be the order of the day as Lusito Land increases the heat during the second weekend of the festival.
The Portuguese cultural celebration will have its stage illuminated by the biggest and most diverse stars in the music game. But the fun doesn’t end there. There is certainly something for everyone, as the festival is set to feature the crème de la crème of the South African entertainment industry.
The festival is scheduled to take place on April 20 to the April 22, and then from April 26 to April 28, at 25 Cayman Road, Johannesburg South. It will include traditional Portuguese folk dancing, Portuguese community artists, dance schools and let’s not forget the amazing delectable cuisines.
Music lovers will be enthralled at this year’s line-up with a wide-ranging genre of artists set to take centre stage.
April 26 – Young talent and cover bands.
April 27 – Portuguese community artists – BravoSilva, Amy Jones, CINIMIN, Lady Zamar and The Muffinz and Friends.
April 28 – The fun continues as patrons are invited to participate in a fun five kilometre Walk for the Disabled, to be held on Sunday.
“The walk will begin at 8am and will be open to anyone who wishes to join in on the fun. To purchase tickets for the walk, attendees must pay their R150 into the Lusito Land Festival bank account and use their name plus Walk as a reference. All the names of all paid participants will be at the registration point. That same ticket will allow patrons into the Lusito Land Festival at no extra cost to them,” said Lusito Land Festival spokesperson Noemia Contente.
Sports fans need not be concerned about missing any of the big games scheduled to take place over the weekend. All live major games, such as the Investec Super Rugby and T20 Cricket will be broadcast on big screens during the day at some restaurants and pubs distributed all over the venue.
There will also be a variety of rides and games offered at the fun fair during the course of the festival. Tickets for the rides will be sold at the festival. For those with an incurable sense of wanderlust, Computicket Travel is running a competition where Lusito Land patrons are offered the opportunity to win an MSC Cruise to the Portuguese Islands and flights to Portugal through TAAG.
“Festival attendees who purchase their tickets for the Lusito Land Festival through Computicket will be automatically entered into the draw,” Contente says.
