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.

- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a planner who builds the budget, books suppliers and keeps the timeline for the couple and both families
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: an unveiling, church event or cultural celebration with seating, food, toilets and parking organised
