Lusito Land is one of
the most common, crowd pleasing family festivals in Johannesburg. It returns
with some of the country’s finest musicians and bands, along with the
experience of Portuguese tradition and culture. The festival runs from 24
April- 3 May 2015, at Wemmer Pan, Pioneer Park in La Rochelle,
south of the city.
This Portuguese festival has been around since the early
1980s, and although its main focus was on the cuisine and traditions of
Portuguese families, it has evolved and includes many other cultures and
traditions. The Portuguese traditions remain, making numerous people return
each year for their delicious foods and refreshing cocktails like; the prego
roll and caipirinhas.
