WIN TICKETS: Portuguese Forum’s festival to paint Boksburg red and green

The Caravela Festival, hosted by the Portuguese Forum of South Africa, will be in Boksburg from June 2 to 4.

The venue is Casa dos Poveiros, 177 Dayan Road, Dayanglen, and part of the proceeds will go to the Boksburg SPCA and Hospice East Rand.

According to a spokesperson for the event, Benjy Mudie, it was famous for its food, world-class music and lifestyle events in 2017 and 2018, so the Caravela Portuguese Festival promises another three days of unrivalled fun for the family.

“In keeping with the generous community spirit of Portuguese South Africans, this year, the festival will support the Boksburg SPCA and Hospice East Rand.

“Over the three days, there will be star-studded live performances from Prime Circle, Jesse Clegg, Karen Zoid and Lee Cole, and Afrikaans superstars Riana Nel and Bobby van Jaarsveld.

“Mi Casa, Goodluck and DJ Luis Almeida will keep the dance floor pumping well into the night.”

Visitors can look forward to a range of food, like prawns, espetadas, chouriço, grilled chicken and other delicacies only the Portuguese know how to cook.

You can wash this down with the famous caipirinha or tangy vinho verde.
