The iconic Voortrekker Monument played backdrop this past Saturday, to the well known Amphitheatre, where this years’ local #JacaDay 2018 was held. What started off as a chilly morning, soon progressed into a ‘need-your-sunscreen’ sunny day with a jam-packed audience!
This 7th annual event featuring top-class entertainment to the likes of Micasa, Refentse, The Parlotones, Bobby van Jaarsveld, Juanita du Plessis, Freshly ground, Jo Black, Brendan Peyper and DJ Jazzy D. Jacaranda competition winner, Lillia Lessev, opened the day’s proceedings with her own compositions. Performers were available to sign autographs and had their pictures taken with supporters afterwards. A variety of food stalls kept the hungry wolves at bay. As usual, Spar supplied entertainment for the young ones, while mom and dad could enjoy alcoholic refreshments at designated enclosures.
Jacaranda FM broadcasted live from the event, interviewing every singer after their performance, giving the home listener the opportunity to be part of the day’s fun. There was a tangible buzz of excitement and celebration, leaving each visitor craving for more.
Jacaranda day will return in 2019, aiming to provide an even bigger and better show!
