Don’t miss out on the Nissan Easter Festival

The ninth edition of the Nissan Easter Festival is showcasing competitors in a host of disciplines including showing, equitation, gymkhana, dressage and showjumping.

It’s a fun-filled festival not to be missed by riders, owners and supporters.

Even those who’ve not yet witnessed the grace and power of the horse are invited to attend the competition taking place at Kyalami Equestrian Park until April 2.

Show director Heather Mpofu said there’s something for everyone – even if you don’t know your horse sport.

“There’s the hugely popular Nissan Six Bar event, as well as the Nissan celebrity fancy dress on Easter Sunday which are personal favourites of mine,” said Mpofu.

“There’s also working hunter classes, equitation, showing, and for the first time ever gymkhana games for the children.

“Outside of the arenas, families can enjoy the ever-popular Easter egg hunt, food markets, a car display, jumping castles and face-painters.

“Entrance is free and we encourage everyone to join us and enjoy a fabulous day out.”

The show will culminate in the SA Outdoor Grand Prix set to take place at 2pm on Easter Monday (April 2) with close to 3 000 fans expected to pack the stands and witness showjumpers tackling the 1.5m high obstacles against the clock.

The Nissan Kiddies area will also be an action-packed fun zone for kids over the Easter weekend of Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Kyalami Park is situated at 1 Dahlia Road, Kyalami.
