Events in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital and the Free State's main events city, with a busy mix of government, university and school life. The city's hotels, conference venues and the Free State Stadium area host workshops, congresses and sporting events, while the university and the well-known schools hold graduations, matric dances and prize-givings. Couples choose garden venues, guesthouses and farm venues around Brandwag, Bainsvlei and the outskirts. In Mangaung, Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu, families hold funerals, unveilings and traditional weddings with large crowds in yards and halls. Highveld summers bring heat and sharp storms, and winters are cold and dry. Planners and hire companies are based in the city and its industrial areas.
Typical decor hire requests in the area come from:
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: branded colour themes, stage backdrops and centrepieces for gala dinners
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a ceremony arch, table centrepieces, candles and a draped head table
- School events and matric dances: matric dance themes, stage dressing and entrance features
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: simple white draping, flowers and candles for unveilings and memorial teas
- Conferences, launches and expos: stage dressing, registration desk styling and simple table arrangements
- Birthdays and private parties: a theme-matched table, backdrop and statement piece for a 21st or 50th
- Festivals, markets and sports days: hanging installations, flags and lounge areas to make a market feel finished
- Kids' parties and baby showers: a character or colour theme with backdrop, table styling and a dessert table
