Festivals, shows & expos
The Free State offers throughout the year a host of festivals, shows and expos, attracting many thousands of spectators, visitors, attendees and exhibitors from all over, even internationally.
These events are hosted at various towns and cities in the province, e.g. the Cherry Festival at Ficksburg, Nampo Harvest Day at Bothaville, Bloem Show at Bloemfontein, the Crater Cruise Cycle Festival at Parys, to name but a few.
It is envisaged to profile here in due course these individual events.
