It was a full day of fun in the sun, lounging at the water’s edge, delicious food and live entertainment at the Water Fest 2023 at Klipkopjes Dam on Saturday October 7.

It was a great day for family and friends alike, with lots of activities for both young and old to enjoy. Water slides, designated swimming areas at the dam’s edge, food, drinks and crafted products made by local entrepreneurs featured throughout the day.
