There’s nothing that South Africans enjoy more than a day out in the sun and fresh air with great company, music, food and drinks. And what better way to celebrate the turn of seasons than with Joburg’s hottest annual music and lifestyle festival on the 5th of October at Casalinga in Muldersdrift. Returning for its second year, Prime Fest – hosted by Hot 91.9, Prime Circleand Real Concerts – is promising to be bigger and better with a powerhouse music line-up and a bevy of food, beverage and lifestyle stalls.

“We are so excited for the second Prime Fest. Last year was an amazing experience where we learned a lot and now, we can add and make this year even better.
