The Kamogelo Centre, the local hub for events and festivities, is hosting its annual October Fest with a promise of entertainment, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere. “The Kamogelo Centre has always been a pillar of community engagement, cooking events, and night markets. The decision to organise an October Fest stems from the desire to bring the community together in a celebration of unity, culture, and enjoyment.

This event aims to foster a sense of togetherness among residents, while also attracting visitors from surrounding areas to experience the unique spirit of Hoedspruit,” said Liezel Maree. The October Fest will allow visitors to immerse themselves in the festivities and entertainment. Traditional German-inspired music will fill the air, setting a backdrop for singing, dancing, and laughter.
