Old Mutual Music In The Garden

I discovered this lovely concept by prowling the internet whilst sitting around being very bored :) 
It's live music at the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens in Roodeport, west of Johannesburg, presented by Old Mutual. These concerts are perfect for all types of get-togethers, from families with children, friends, couples etc. Pack a little picnic basket, picnic blanket and a good sized umbrella and set yourself up for a lovely afternoon in the sun.

The artists are varied and the crowd is always a mixed bunch of happy South Africans. Make sure you get there early (around 11am) to get a good spot, and especially for a parking space. I've been there for a couple of concerts (AKA, Mango Grove, Freshly Ground and Lira), I always have a lovely Sunday and it's alcohol friendly too: )

Search for Old Mutual Music in the Gardens on the internet around September to see the scheduled performances and buy the very affordable tickets. A must for the Joburger!

Happy People in the sun!

Excellent performance by Freshlyground
