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 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
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: church functions, unveilings and cultural parties with the right music and no clashes with the programme
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: background music at a cocktail hour, then a dance floor for the year-end function
- 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
