Events in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital and the Free State's main events city, with a busy mix of government, university and school life. The city's hotels, conference venues and the Free State Stadium area host workshops, congresses and sporting events, while the university and the well-known schools hold graduations, matric dances and prize-givings. Couples choose garden venues, guesthouses and farm venues around Brandwag, Bainsvlei and the outskirts. In Mangaung, Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu, families hold funerals, unveilings and traditional weddings with large crowds in yards and halls. Highveld summers bring heat and sharp storms, and winters are cold and dry. Planners and hire companies are based in the city and its industrial areas.
