From Wednesday 4 March to Sunday 8 March at the Greenhills Sport Stadium in Randfontein ticket holders will experience the West Rand’s biggest business and social extravaganza as the Randfontein Show kicks off for the 29th consecutive year.
Big names like The Parlotones, Juanita du Plessis, Elvis Blue, Karlien van Jaarsveld and Blackbyrd will grace the show’s main stage.
“This event is all about fun, food and entertainment,” said show coordinator Marcelle Mans.
“It’s value for money and caters for the whole family.”
Exhibitors and visitors from all over the country flock to Randfontein each year to enjoy what is fondly known as Die Lekkerste Kuierskou. With over 400 stalls, top-class live entertainment, cooking demos, wine and beer gardens, and a host of displays and competitions, the Randfontein Show is the place to be.
“We have extended trading to include a Sunday, making it easier for families to enjoy the variety of entertainment on offer,” says Marcelle.
“There are so many things to see and do, many people visit the show more than once.”
Take a trip in a Monster Truck or get your adrenalin pumping on one of the exhilarating funfair rides, watch cooking demos, participate in a pancake race or Custom and Muscle Cars Show & Shine competition, and watch the chainsaw log-cutting or tug-of-war competitions.
