Hmm, in that case you may be interested to know that the BILTONG FEES is happening next saturday at Laerskool Bekker.

Actually next weekend you could do a festival crawl of note since there is the Biltong Festival , There's a rave at Hornbill Lodge most of the weekend, and then you can round it all off with the Wine Festival. I'm sure there is something else as well, but can't think of it right now.

Biltongfees: http://www.baiebiltong.co.za/

Vanjaar se biltongfees vind plaas op 4-5 September 2010 te Bekker Laerskool, Magaliesburg.
Saterdag 4 September: Pretdag, kompetisies, aktiwiteite, uitstallers, Pieter Koen en Biltong Koning kompetisie!
Sondag 5 September: Lof- en aanbiddingsfees, Christelike sangers, uitstallers, kosstalletjies, middagete. Kunstenaars sluit in Ronell Erasmus, Cathy Viljoen, Ebenette van Wyk en ander.

Rave party: Seems its very hush hush and underground, generally just pitch up at the gate. www.hornbill.co.za Those in the know, will know, you know!

Wine Festival :http://www.winefestival.co.za/

The Spring Wine Festival is held in aid of the Woodland Preparatory School in Magaliesberg. It is an outdoor festival and is held on a large country estate in the countryside of Magaliesberg, approximately 40 minutes drive from Johannesburg

Lush green lawn, trees to sit under and a river to stroll along!

Our emphasis is on tasting South Africa's best wines in a tranquil outdoor setting. To this end, more than 110 wine producers will present in excess of 600 wines for the adult tasters enjoyment. This is a family festival, with supervised entertainment for children whilst the parents relax and enjoy the wines in the countryside.

It is a relaxing, fun family day and you can enjoy wine as it was meant to be enjoyed! Relax and enjoy huge shady trees, lush green grass and an abundance of birdlife, while your kids have fun in the great outdoors! Jumping Castles & Supervised Entertainment for children will be available.

A few years ago someone died at the festival from alcohol poisoning. Talk about a martyr to a cause! I hope he wasn't cremated, would have probably blown up the crematorium!
