Rand Easter Show
For more than a century the renowned Rand Easter Show has drawn
the crowds every year during the Easter break. It started as an
agricultural show, but has grown in popularity, size and scope to
become South Africa’s largest consumer exhibition along with
an entertainment extravaganza that is eagerly awaited each year.
Exhibitors covering a range of categories offer entertaining stalls
and shopping specials, while a varied live entertainment programme
keeps show-goers buzzing until late each night. The Show includes
show-jumping, working dog displays and livestock judging in keeping
with its agricultural origins.
Venue: The Nasrec Expo Centre at the corner of Randshow and Nasrec Roads;
Date: 21 March to 6 April 2008;
