Lusito Land Festival


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.
