The famous Stellenbosch Wine Harvest Parade is set to return to South Africa’s Wine Capital after a two-year hiatus and this wine-inspired spectacle is guaranteed to bring a myriad of memorable moments on Saturday, 9 April 2022.
The beloved procession sees farmers, workers and wine-lovers mount colourful floats and paint the town red in celebration of another fruitful wine grape season.
Bring your friends and family and join in on an adventurous walk through the historic streets. The parade begins at 9am, leaving from the famous Toy and Miniature Museum, and weaves its way beneath the oaks before arriving some 30 minutes later at the Stellenbosch Town Hall.
Here, the mayor will award the best float as well as the occasion’s most spirited team.
After a short thanksgiving ceremony, the parade will continue its way, sharing the joy of the year’s harvest as it goes. At its conclusion, participants will be treated to a braai, live music, and refreshments, with special entertainment for the kiddies too.
The Stellenbosch Harvest Parade takes place with the support of the region’s wineries, wine route organisation, Wesgro and Stellenbosch Municipality. No booking is necessary.
