ParkLife returns for its 8th run

Start the long weekend with some ParkLife fun on Women’s Day.

Live music, great food and a guaranteed day of fun are what awaits those who will be at Emmarentia Botanical Gardens on 9 August as ParkLife returns to the city.

For those that are unaware of the thrill and joy of ParkLife, it is a festival of live music and gourmet food. It boasts an all-local line-up and brings a selection of SA’s top live acts to the stage with Lady Zamar, Matthew Mole, Desmond & The Tutus, PHFAT, aKing, Ross Learmonth (of Prime Circle), Janie Bay, Werner Bekker and Charlie Finch. Come hungry as well and enjoy the carefully curated food village consisting of the best the city has to offer in gourmet food.

The outdoor music and lifestyle festival returns for its 8th annual edition and the organisers are sure to give Joburger’s memories that will last forever. Festival director Damon Forbes said, “Get ready for a wonderful experience and join our move to the Botanical Gardens. It’s a beautiful environment next to the dam and we have activations for food, gin and crafts among the trees, mix that with diverse live acts and this is going to be an incredible day out.”

Besides the great music and food that will be available, there are other great reasons to go. As it is being hosted on Women’s Day, women get tickets at a special price and it’s a family-friendly event, so bring the kids along too. If you are a gin enthusiast, the bars will have a craft gin section with some of the best gin mixes in town. Lastly, as Joburg prepares for spring, this will be a great chance to enjoy a day under the sun with beautiful warm weather. You have no reason to miss this one, be sure to get your tickets as soon as possible.

Details: 9 August, gates open at 11am, event ends at 6.30pm
