Events in Upington
Upington is the hub of the Green Kalahari, a desert town on the Orange River where vineyards, date palms and raisin farms line the banks. Weddings and parties happen at riverside lodges, guesthouses and wine and raisin farms around Keimoes, Kakamas and Kanoneiland, usually in the cooler months. Farming co-operatives and companies hold harvest-season and year-end functions, while hotels host small conferences and tourism events. Paballelo and Louisvale families hold funerals, church events and traditional ceremonies in yards and halls. Summer temperatures can climb past 40 degrees, and winter nights turn cold and dry. Planners and hire companies work from Upington, and distances to farms and towns along the river are long.
Typical conference organisers requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a destination wedding weekend where a conference-style team handles registration and transport
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: a church or NGO conference with interpreters, large seating blocks and shared meals
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: annual conferences, sales meetings and strategy days with plenary, breakaways and a gala dinner
- Birthdays and private parties: a company anniversary conference with a milestone dinner on the final evening
- Festivals, markets and sports days: an expo or trade show where exhibitors need stands, power and loading access
- School events and matric dances: a teachers' conference, governing body meeting or career expo for learners
- Conferences, launches and expos: seminars, expos, AGMs and multi-day conferences with registration, AV and speaker management
