Events in Gauteng

Gauteng is the busiest events market in the country, from corporate functions and conferences at convention centres in Sandton, Midrand and Johannesburg to weddings at garden venues and lodges around the Cradle of Humankind, Magaliesburg and Pretoria East. Families hold birthdays, kids' parties and traditional ceremonies in home gardens, community halls and church grounds across Soweto, Tembisa and the East Rand, while schools book matric dances and fun days. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms, so many hosts plan a marquee or stretch tent as cover. Winters are dry and cold at night. Most planners and hire companies work from Johannesburg, Pretoria and the East Rand.
