Doortjie is an exciting new children’s theatre production written by Ilne Fourie. The production brings to life the oerteltjies, forest-dwelling creatures named Doortjie, Driekie and Doppies who live in a forest between somewhere and nowhere. Spinnelina and her two sidekicks Afval and Stinktoon find great pleasure in causing chaos in the lives of the oertels. Luckily Koning Woeste Baard is there to maintain law and order in
the story. Add the teasing twins to the mix and Doortjie promises to be a fun children’s adventure with live music and original songs. Bring the whole family to discover the adventures of Doortjie and the other oertels.

The action takes place in the city of Athens, which is completely devoid of men. Every man, and every almost-man, has been called to war, and whilst they are being killed off in the fighting, their wives are left at home to raise babies and amuse themselves. Lusistrata has called together the women of Athens and Sparta to come up with a way to force their husbands to come to a peace agreement.

Bloem Show is one of the largest shows in the country that still successfully combines Agricultural and Commercial activities. About 90 000 people passed through the Bloem Show gates over the 10 days in 2009. Considering the challenging economic situation worldwide and the fact the 2009 Bloem Show only had 1 holiday in comparison to the 2 of 2008, Bloem Show was extremely blessed. Bloem Show will take place from 22 April – 1 May 2010. We want to recruit exhibitors of quality and are planning tons of entertainment by top South African and local entertainers, exciting Agricultural Championships, the largest Open Air Saddle Horse Championship in the world and an adrenalin filled experience in the Entertainment Park. Tickets cost R45 for adults and R25 for scholars and pensioners. For a detailed programme on all the activities visit www.bloemskou.co.za

CRC’s annual Dreamweek will take place in Bloemfontein from 30 September to 4 October 2009.

Worship will be lead by the CRC band with guest performances by Planetshakers. For tickets and the full programme visit www.Dreamweek.co.za

South Africa had a similar event, but it was called Voelvry and only transpired in 1989. Voelvry was a social and political movement centered around Afrikaans protest music against the strictures of the then apartheid government.

One of the icons of this generation was Valiant Swart, and one of the songs that typified it, was ‘Die Mystic Boer’ by Swart.

The song is about a mysterious Boer roaming and dancing the South African plains.

Today one of the most interesting music venues in Bloemfontein is called Die Mystic Boer. Look at our Bloemfontein events calendar to see what is going down at Die Mystic.

The annual Bloem Show is part of Bloemfontein as are rugby and roses. This year the show promises to be even bigger and better with the celebration of its 125th year of existence.

With the winning formula of combining agriculture with entertainment, the Bloem Show is one of the three largest shows in South Africa. Amongst others, Bloem Show presents the largest open air Saddle Horse Championship in the world with ±1000 saddle horses taking part in the national championship.

The show which starts on April 23 boasts 450 exhibitors, 25 food stands and entertainment for young and old. A special hit with the kids is the daily show of the Dairy Corporation cow mascot and the little Gerry, Pixter and Ollie clowns. Older children will enjoy paintball and the rides in the amusement park.

Music lovers will have lots to tap their feet to with live performances by Theuns Jordaan, Chris Chameleon and Juanita du Plessis, to name a few. A highlight is the jazz evening with performances by Selebano & Bhudaza.

In addition, the Volksblad theatre, will provide for even more arts and entertainment.

Pellissier-place has noticed that there no Bloemfontein events calendar available online.

We have therefore decided to keep our own. So we have launched an events calendar of cultural, sport, festivals and other events going down in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

For the past three decades, passionate rose lovers, both locally and abroad, have congregated in the ‘City of Roses’ to celebrate the rich legacy of floriculture in South Africa.

The 31st annual Bloemfontein Rose Festival, running from 18th to 21st October, will showcase the best roses in the land at the city’s Mimosa Mall. Here the Free State Rose Society’s annual Cut Rose competition will encourage budding rose enthusiasts to submit their roses for assessment by top judges.

To encourage residents to dabble in rose growing, the Parks Division of the Manaung City Council initiated the Rose Garden competition that runs concurrently with the festival.
