The Rand Show is back for its 2026 Easter edition, taking over the Johannesburg Expo Centre from 2 to 6 April with five days of entertainment, culture and family-friendly experiences.
One of the biggest highlights is the live music festival, featuring some of the country’s top talent including Morda, Mkosazana Daughter and Kelvin Momo. Expect high-energy performances that carry through the day and into the night, adding to the festival atmosphere.
For families and younger visitors, the event delivers a packed programme of activities. The standout attraction, Jungle Magic, is a fully immersive indoor experience that transforms an entire hall into a vibrant jungle world. Featuring oversized animals like a King Kong-sized gorilla, towering elephants, colourful chameleons and flamingos, it’s designed to be explored and experienced rather than simply viewed.
Beyond that, visitors can explore a lively indoor market filled with curated vendors, enjoy the adrenaline zone at the fun fair, and discover new additions like the Bridal Fair and Matric Fair, complete with fashion shows and competitions. A dedicated township economy pavilion also adds a fresh cultural and entrepreneurial layer to the experience.
Whether you’re there for the music, food, shopping or rides, the Rand Show 2026 offers something for everyone, making it a must-visit event on the Easter calendar.
