Countdown to first Joburg Easter Festival

The all-new Joburg Easter Festival, billed as “'A Great Day out - Every Day!”, makes its debut 3 - 13 April 2009 at the MTN Expo Centre, Nasrec. Over R5 million has been invested in a diverse entertainment lineup featuring top South African musicians, comedians, dance acts, circus performers, an award-winning Bollywood stage production and children's theatre.

"Visitors can look forward to a comprehensive selection of top-class leisure and lifestyle exhibits, as well as a thrilling entertainment line-up that is custom designed with the family unit as centrepiece," says Craig Newman, CEO MTN Expo Centre, Nasrec.

The exhibition front will consist of various categories that include interactive sports and recreation, digital technology, house and home, government information, children's attractions, creative industries, outdoor leisure, boating, pools, and spas.

The lineup includes main stage concerts featuring an Afrikaans Festival, the “Dance with me Baby” Bollywood production straight from the Suncoast Casino, an indie rock concert and a gospel celebration concert.

The Lakeside Stage will host a pyrotechnics and laser show on the opening night (Friday 3 April) in addition to comedy acts and some of SA's top performing jazz musicians. Children can indulge in their very own Kiddies World that is billed as being filled to the brim with great activities, shows and the Beautiful Creatures theatre production.

The entertainment lineup also includes the internationally acclaimed Zip Zap circus, a range of extreme thrill rides and a traditional festival parade.
