Johannesburg’s favourite outdoor music celebration is back — and it’s bigger than ever! The 12th annual ParkLive Festival is set to take over Marks Park in Emmarentia on Saturday, 18 October 2025, promising a full day of live music, sunshine, and festival magic.
This year’s line-up is a showstopper, featuring some of South Africa’s most loved artists. Expect unforgettable performances from Matthew Mole, Shekhinah, The Parlotones, Freshlyground, Ross Learmonth, Ben Rodrigues, and SaxbyTwins, with even more acts still to be announced.
From soul-stirring acoustic sets to singalong hits and dance-floor anthems, ParkLive 2025 is bringing all the energy you need to celebrate spring in style.
But it’s not just about the tunes — ParkLive is a full-on lifestyle experience. Between sets, festivalgoers can explore the curated food and beverage village, filled with gourmet street eats, refreshing craft drinks, and sweet treats to keep the good times rolling.
Whether you’re lounging on the lawns with friends or dancing the day away, it’s the perfect fusion of beats and bites.
Since its debut, ParkLive has earned its place as a must-do event on Joburg’s social calendar, drawing thousands of locals and visitors every year for a day of community, creativity, and connection.
So, grab your sunnies, gather your crew, and get ready for a day that celebrates everything we love about live music and outdoor living.

When you join a photography tour, it is easy to focus on getting the perfect shot. But great travel photography is not only about composition, lighting, and timing. It is also about respect. As a guest in another location, you are stepping into people’s everyday lives, communities, and meaningful spaces. The way you photograph others should reflect curiosity, humility, and especially care.

Seasonality has become part of everyday dining, particularly in the Cape, where chefs increasingly cook with local harvests front of mind. Recently appointed to lead gastronomy at Vergenoegd Löw Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, Executive Chef Michelle Theron brings more than 20 years of fine-dining experience to a 160-hectare farm known for regenerative agriculture and its famous flock of Indian Runner ducks, which naturally manage pests in the vineyards.
Across the Cape Winelands and the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, conferencing venues come into their own this time of year. Think vineyard views instead of blank walls. Fireside chats instead of fluorescent lighting. Fresh air between sessions.
It’s the season for team getaways that actually work.
So, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to plan a conference, strategy session, or leadership retreat – this is it.
We’ve put together a list of five standout venues doing it right this autumn.
