Jazz on the River

Last year the event attracted over 4 000 patrons and this year a much bigger crowd is expected from all the corners of South Africa as ticket sales have shown that the majority of patrons are from outside of Vaal. Speaking to Sedibeng Ster, one of the organisers, Jackie Chili said that Jazz on the River takes place during Tourism Month. Tourism Month is an annual celebration held in September to focus on the importance of tourism to the economy of South Africa under the theme: “Tourism for all.”
