Perfect weather is predicted for the SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees, which runs from Friday, June 28 to Sunday, June 30.
Visitors to the Eastern Cape’s favourite family festival will be enthralled by the selection of over 300 selected stalls, will be shouting “yee haw!” during high-energy horse shows, and inspired by the conservation theme in the refreshed Walk on the Wildside marquee, promises Wildsfees director Jenni Honsbein.
Visitors will be able to find out more about the province’s rich marine, coastal and inland natural heritage at the Walk on the Wildside experience, which includes activities for children.
The latest in camping equipment, agricultural machinery and new vehicles, will also be on display in separate expos that form part of the Wildsfees.
Themed “kuier” areas have been created for friends and family to connect and relax while savouring estate wines, cold drinks, freshly prepared meals and snacks beers and speciality spirits.
Multi-time aerobatics champion Patrick Davidson will enthral the crowds on Sunday.
All this is in addition to over 21 hours of live entertainment on the giant ECPTA main stage, which is included in the entrance fee.
The line-up is headlined by Karen Zoid and her orchestra and Bok van Blerk on Friday; Kurt Darren and local star Early B with Justin Vega on the Saturday night, and the biggest Wildsfees Sunday line-up to date, which ends with Dozi, West and Ricus Nel.
Being part of the Wildsfees is “a definite must on the Eastern Cape events calendar and it is beautiful to see how the SPAR Kirkwood festival brings family and friends together, while creating employment opportunities not only for passionate entrepreneurs but the local community at large as well,” says SPAR Eastern Cape advertising manager Roseann Shadrach.
There will also be giant inflatable Emojis, cosplayers in superhero costumes, pony rides and massive puppets to add to the fun.
For the adventurous there will be bungee jumping, Fun4 U rides, paintball shooting, Zorbing and much more all weekend.
