It’s time once again for the Harfield Village Carnival. I attended this carnival for the first time last year and had an absolute blast. This year I’m unfortunately missing out, but that doesn’t mean you should…
Weather predictions are looking good at a pleasant 20 degrees with no rain predicted, so this is your weekend instruction to get out there and enjoy the variety of stalls, food & drinks, great entertainment, as well as the big street party vibe.
It really is a fun day out for both young and old and everyone in between, and to make things even better – it’s all for a great cause as all funds raised will be going back into the improvement, greening, schools, charities and general upliftment of the area. #LoveIt

How to get there? Uber is always a good idea – that way you can drink & be merry without worrying about getting home safely. If you’re new to the app, get your first ride up to R200 free by entering the code “Harfield Carnival”.
Still undecided? Then have a look at some photos from last year’s carnival:
