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.
Typical tent hire requests in the area come from:
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: a team-building day or year-end braai under cover on a lawn or sports field
- Conferences, launches and expos: a temporary breakaway or catering tent beside the main venue
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: a garden or farm tent over round tables, with sidewalls and lighting for an evening reception
- Birthdays and private parties: a backyard tent for a 21st or 50th over tables, a bar and a dance floor
- Festivals, markets and sports days: stall, beer-garden and first-aid tents at markets, fairs and sports days
- School events and matric dances: a fun day, prize-giving or matric function tent on the school field
- Kids' parties and baby showers: shade for a party on the lawn, with tables for food and a corner for the cake
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: funeral, unveiling and church tents seating hundreds on a yard or street

Locally: summer afternoon thunderstorms: ask for a waterproof marquee and a wet-weather plan.
