Veri-Fest 2025: It’s Not Just a Braai – It’s a Movement - 24 September

Updated: Jun 25

Potchefstroom is heating up this spring, and not just from the coals. Veri-Fest 2025 is coming in hot on 24 September, with a mix of fire, flavour, and a full-on festival experience, now happening at NWU Jool Plaas (new venue alert!) after a move from the original JB Marks Oval spot.


The Braai, the Vibes, the Movement

Veri-Fest isn't just about turning chops and wors. The event is going all-in to break the unofficial braai world record. It’s a celebration of South African food culture, live music, games, and general gees.


Ticket holders can choose from different access levels depending on how seriously they take their braaing.
