A new festival village will be ready for the 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0annual SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was empty scrubland a few weeks ago is now an eight-hectare fenced, cleared, levelled and covered platform for the Eastern Cape\u2019s favourite family festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunny Karoo skies are predicted for the festival weekend, from Friday, June 27 to Sunday, June 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festival highlights include the Walk on the Wildside experience featuring interactive exhibits and activities, agri, outdoor and new vehicle expos, working dog and horse demonstrations, wild rides in the Family Play Park, pony rides, paintball, bungee bounce, pedal-go karting and meeting cosplay fictional characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be over 300 specialist stalls selling handcrafts, d\u00e9cor items, clothing and freshly prepared delicacies, in addition to wine tastings and \u201ckuiering\u201d at the Be-Dingus Bar, Dam Duikers Draai, ATKV Kalmeerkraal, Coca-Cola Kos Kraal, Castle Corner, LITEnUP Bar, and Lagerville Watergat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors will be entertained by over 30 national stars appearing live on the giant Wildsfees stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday\u2019s line-up starts at 16:00 with Ruan van der Kuil, with Spoegwolf as the headline act at 21:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday the music starts at 13:30 with local legend Patrick Lindoor, and climaxes with former local Ruhan du Toit and Kurt Darren from 22:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday\u2019s entertainment begins at 11:00 with Wynand and Cheree, and Blackbyrd plays the festival out from 14:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovers of traditional sheep\u2019s head, tripe or a mutton potjie will dine at the Lekker Lang Lamtafel while enjoying traditional Afrikaans entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dog and horse demos will be held in the MTN Arena on all three days, along with a demonstration by the SANParks K-9 anti-poaching unit on the Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors to the Walk on the Wildside marquee will be able to plan their next break by finding out more about 19 of the province\u2019s top holiday and adventure destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Baartman District Tourism, Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism (ECPTA) and Addo Tourism will connect visitors with all the attractions the area, including the Sundays River Valley, has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will also be fossil digs for the young and dinosaur virtual reality experiences, snake, spider and tortoise demonstrations by Mark Marshall of Sandula Conservation and his team, the Iziko Mobile Museum, and the launch of a new tourism product by Small Town South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conservation minded will be able to leave a message on the Tree of Life, made from recycled cardboard by APL Cartons Packaging and decorated with household waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
