SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees welcomes lifting of Covid-19 restrictions

By

The SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees has welcomed the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions just ahead of the opening of the 2022 festival on Friday, June 24.

“The Covid cloud has lifted. Great Karoo sunshine and clear evening skies are predicted for most of the weekend, so we expect thousands of visitors just wanting to celebrate and to have fun with family and friends,” says SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees director Jenni Honsbein.

The marquees are up, the entertainers are excited to be on the biggest stage in the Eastern Cape and hundreds of tickets have already been sold.

“With restrictions lifted there will be tickets for everyone to purchase at the gates,” says Honsbein.

Great outdoor festival weather is predicted for the weekend of Friday, June 24 to Sunday, June 26.

The 2022 Wildsfees will feature a constellation of 24 national stars on a giant stage, over 300 selected stallholders and plenty of all-day entertainment and action for the whole family.

For kids there is a carnival area with clowns, face painting and a play ball pond.

And for the young at heart there is a fun fair with traditional rides.

Visitors will also be able to explore the taste of sushi, oysters, charcuterie platters and, of course, biltong, kudu burgers and traditional festival fare.

Conservation features in displays by the South African National Parks Board and Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency, bee-keeping expos and more.

In addition, the festival hosts the Eastern Cape’s biggest motor and outdoor expos, as well as an agricultural zone and a Boerboel show on the Saturday.
