Events in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and school town, so graduations, matric dances, residence functions and sports events fill much of the calendar. The North-West University campus and the town's well-known schools use halls, fields and marquees for prize-givings and big social events. Garden venues, guesthouses and farm venues along the Mooi River and outside town host weddings, with plenty of tree-lined settings. Companies hold year-end functions at hotels and clubs, and Ikageng families hold funerals, unveilings and traditional ceremonies in yards and halls. Summers bring hot days and storms, and winters are cold and dry. Planners and hire companies are based in town, serving Ventersdorp, Parys and the surrounding farms.
