As one of this country’s most memorable events on the annual entertainment calendar, the expo returns this April with an exhilarating offering sure to please the whole family. Running from 6 to 10 April 2023, SA’s largest consumer exhibition will take place at The Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec.

Let’s get specific!

Huge crowd pleasers and outdoor fun

The Rand Show is famous for its outdoor displays, and this year is no different. Visitors can experience helicopter flips, drifting and advanced driving with professionals.

A new addition to this year’s event is the Dog Showcase – backed by The South African Dog Agility Association (SADAA). Dog agility is one of the fastest growing canine sports globally and is a fantastic spectator sport. This promises to big a massive crowd pleaser for visitors. Visitors can expect to see dogs and their handlers participating in four disciplines – flying, agility, jumping, and IPO (training, obedience, and protection). This is sure to wow the crowds.

All day entertainment

While some may not consider food and drink as entertainment, at this event, it is. From the beer gardens to gin tastings and speciality snacks and food, there is an excellent excuse to break your diet.

The kids will love the dedicated Kids Zone, Kids Con, magic shows, SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, the brand new Easter Wonderland with the Beacon Bunny, the inflatables village, animal farm, kids marching band, balloon giveaways, go-karting, Hamley’s trains and so much more.

Young adults can look forward to free music concerts around the show at no extra cost. Some top SA musicians will be performing, including the likes of Dr Victor, Mango Groove, Uncle Waffles, Kelly Khumalo and MXO.

Families will enjoy the Classic Car Show, wrestling, the Dog Show, Cake Boss, motorbike display and toy run and the various marching bands performing throughout the show.
