VOC Summer Festival: Day 4

VOC’s biggest community event, the VOC Summer Festival 2016, was a resounding success with thousands of festival-goers attending the event over the three days.  Organisers estimate that 20 000 people supported the event this past weekend, mostly families who seek an environment where there is clean fun.

The festival brought together a myriad of local food traders, artisans, clothing designers, jewellery and toy vendors as well as local businesses – giving shoppers a wide range of choice. For entertainment, there was a range of sports and entertainment on the menu.
