Events in Benoni

Benoni is known as the City of Lakes, and its water and parks shape many local events. Venues around Northmead Lake and Rynfield suit weddings, engagement parties and birthday celebrations, while gardens in Lakefield and Crystal Park host family functions. Churches, schools and halls across town and in Daveyton hold community celebrations, funerals, traditional ceremonies and matric dances. Local clubs and conference rooms take workshops and year-end functions, and nearby smallholdings offer space for larger country weddings. Hire companies are based locally and in nearby Boksburg and Brakpan, so tents, chairs and sound can be delivered quickly. Summer afternoons bring storms, and winter evenings turn cold fast.
