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 sound hire requests in the area come from:
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: speakers and wireless microphones for the ceremony, speeches and first dance, plus music in the tent
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: church, funeral and unveiling sound with microphones for the speakers and a hymn playlist
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a clean PA with lectern and headset microphones for awards, launches and year-end functions
