The sold out second edition of the event lit up Father’s Day on Sunday.

Karibu Farm rocked to the sounds of Prime Circle during the second edition of ‘Music on the Farm’, a sold-out Father’s Day celebration in Umhlali on Sunday.

Known for its rustic charm and community spirit, Karibu drew large crowds from 10am, with families claiming spots along the scenic dam embankment.

The mellow sounds of The Kickstands set the scene for the rest of the afternoon.

The open-air event delivered a vibrant mix of music, food, nature and family fun. Children enjoyed the dedicated play area, while others made use of the padel courts.

Local three-piece band Sons of Hurricane kicked off proceedings with alternative and punk rock, followed by The Kickstands and their mellow acoustic set.
