Enjoy family fun at Easter festival

The all new Nissan Navara will be on display and available to test drive throughout the show

THE eighth edition of the Nissan Easter Festival is set to be the best yet – not only for horse-riders and horse lovers, but for friends and families too.

Equestrian athletes from countries such as Zimbabwe, Botswana, Swaziland, Zambia and Namibia will join the hundreds of South African riders who will compete in a wide range of disciplines, such as showing, equitation, dressage and showjumping, at Kyalami Equestrian Park from April 8 to 17.

Show director Kate Launder says over and above the 160 competition classes, there’s a whole host of entertainment, all free of charge.

“There are new events on the cards such as the Nissan Navara Challenge where showjumping Superstars will take on the Eventers All-stars on Friday, April 14. There’s also the popular Nissan Six Bar event as well as the Nissan celebrity fancy dress on Easter Sunday.”

Outside the arenas, families can enjoy the ever-popular Easter egg hunt, food markets, car display, jumping castles and face-painters. Entrance is free.

The show will culminate in the SA Outdoor Grand Prix, set to take place at 2pm on Easter Monday, April 17. On board this year, and his first time building in South Africa, is FEI Level 3 course designer Marco Behrens from Germany.

In addition to the free entrance to the show, the all-new Nissan Navara will be on display and available to test drive throughout the show.

The Nissan Kiddies area will be an action-packed fun zone for children over the Easter weekend of Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
