Why the Rand Show is a perfect event to keep you and your family entertained during the long-weekend.
Celebrating it’s 125th year anniversary, the Rand Show is synonymous with family entertainment on a grand scale, and this year, the injection of on trend content will leave visitors wanting for nothing, except maybe a little more time to soak up the fun.
This year, the Rand Show will be running from Friday, 19 April until Sunday, 28 April. Joburg’s Best Day Out will take place once again at one of Joburg’s best-known landmarks – the Johannesburg Expo Centre at the corner of Nasrec and Randshow Roads in Johannesburg.

• Well-loved Show favourites are back, such as the gorgeous South African Garden and Home Pavilion, exciting military displays featuring supersonic jets, attack helicopters, armory and synchronised aerial displays, and of course the fantastic fun fair.
