Events in Free State

The Free State offers wide open country for events, from farm and guest-farm weddings and sandstone-hill venues around Clarens, Bethlehem and Harrismith to hotels and conference venues in Bloemfontein. The city also hosts graduations, school functions, matric dances and church gatherings, while Welkom, Kroonstad and Sasolburg book corporate functions, community days and birthdays. Summers are hot with sharp thunderstorms and winters bring frost and very cold nights, so tent heating and wind security are worth asking about. Many farm venues lie far from town. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Bloemfontein, Welkom and Sasolburg, and travel to farms and eastern towns.

Typical DJ hire requests in the area come from:

  • Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a DJ and MC for the entrance, speeches, first dance and a full dance floor until the last song
  • Corporate functions and year-end parties: background music at a cocktail hour, then a dance floor for the year-end function
  • School events and matric dances: a matric dance or fun day DJ who follows school rules on music, hours and content
  • Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: church functions, unveilings and cultural parties with the right music and no clashes with the programme
  • Conferences, launches and expos: walk-in music, entrance sound and a DJ for the gala dinner afterwards
  • Birthdays and private parties: a 21st, 40th or home party playlist with a DJ who reads the crowd and takes requests
  • Festivals, markets and sports days: sets between bands, afternoon music at markets or a DJ stage at a community event
