The 2025 SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees will be held in the town of Kirkwood after a new venue became available.
Earlier it was announced that the Kirkwood Wildsfees would be moving to the Mayogi Bomas on the R75 from the Kirkwood High School grounds due to restrictions on the sale of liquor imposed by the Eastern Cape Department of Education.
It will now be held on the grounds of The Co-op in Kirkwood.
The annual Kirkwood Wildlife Game Auction will continue to be held at the Mayogi Bomas, on Friday, June 27.
“It is great news that we have found premises in Kirkwood to hold the Wildsfees,” says festival director Jenni Honsbein.
“We are extremely grateful for The Co-op, which has its headquarters in Humansdorp, to make their grounds in Kirkwood available for 2025.
“Festival goers who have booked accommodation in Kirkwood will be able to walk to the venue as they did to the school,” she adds.
The 2025 SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees will feature over 20 national artists on the giant ECPTA stage, host 300 specialist stalls and feature horse and working dog demonstrations, among its many activities included in the entrance fee.
It will be held from Friday, June 27 to Sunday, June 29.
To mark the occasion and the 100th anniversary of Afrikaans being accepted as an official language, a free concert will be hosted on the Thursday evening, June 26.
