The Bloem show just two weeks away

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.
