Festivals & events – The Dome area features some of the country’s largest indoor arenas, hosting popular horse shows, live music, and community festivals. Hartelus Mark – Held on the first Saturday of every month along the beautiful Vaal River bank, this vibrant local market offers delicious food, handmade goods, arts, crafts, and a warm, festive atmosphere. Birdwatching – A paradise for bird lovers, with a wide variety of species to spot. Angling & leisure – Cast a line or enjoy a picnic along the riverbanks – a peaceful retreat for all ages.
