WIN! Tickets to the hottest Portuguese festival up for grabs
Part of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Boksburg SPCA and Hospice East Rand.
Get ready to experience the magic of Madeiran culture as the second Madeira Fest descends upon Casa dos Poveiros in Boksburg from November 3 to 5.
According to a spokesperson for the event, Benjy Mudie, festival-goers can expect non-stop, eat-till-you-pop, dance-till-you-drop, food and entertainment for the entire family.
“It’s the best Portuguese festival of summer 2023. Sink your teeth into an endless array of mouth-watering Portuguese dishes – prawns, espetada, chouriço, and peri-peri chicken, to name but a few. And to wash it down, sip on a cool caipirinha or poncha, the ultimate traditional drink from the island of Madeira. And don’t forget the delicious pastéis de natas coupled with a perfect espresso, true Portuguese style. This is where great food meets great friends; stroll through our first outdoor market within the festival grounds and find your treasure,” said Mudie.
Mudie pointed out it will be three days of pure musical bliss with a star-studded line-up of artists including the iconic Mango Groove, popsters Lee Cole, James Deacon and Karlien van Jaarsveld.
“And when the stars shine brightest, you give in to the electrifying beats of top DJs including Luis Almeida, Jay Em, Rix and Timo ODV.
“Come dance the ‘Bailinho’ as Madeira’s rich culture is on display with various traditional folklore dancing, accompanied by traditional regional voices and musical instruments. A visual spectacle!”
Brought to you by Caravela Events and the Portuguese Forum of South Africa, Madeira Fest 2023 is perfect for families, including a secure kids’ zone to keep the little ones entertained.
Always giving back, Mudie highlighted Caravela Events is committed to donating a certain percentage of ticket sales to Hospice East Rand and SPCA Boksburg.
