Events in Welkom
Welkom is a planned goldfields town with wide streets and circular layouts, and its events reflect a community working through the end of the mining era. Mines, contractors and local businesses still hold year-end functions, awards and training days at hotels, clubs and halls. Weddings and birthdays use garden venues, guesthouses and farm venues around Riebeeckstad, Odendaalsrus and Virginia. In Thabong, families hold funerals, unveilings, church services and traditional ceremonies, often in yards and halls under large hired tents. Schools use halls for matric dances and prize-givings. Summers are hot with dust and sudden storms, and winters are cold and dry. Planners and hire companies work from Welkom and Odendaalsrus.
