The sandstone town of Ficksburg produces around 500 tons of cherries each year, representing about 95% of the South African crop. The town devotes a whole week each year to its favourite, with events including tastings, pickings, demonstrations and plenty of chances to learn some history of the cherry industry over the years.
There are also horse shows, flower shows and a fun run. The festival culminates with a carnival, parade and firework display. Take your sweet tooth and don't wear white!

Welcome to South Africa
UBUNTU! Humanity!
Welcome to the official South African Travel Network – Experience South Africa also known as ESA.
Experience SA is about the people, places and life in South Africa. Over the next couple of weeks there will be a roll out of various services and packages that will once and for all assert that South Africa's Golden Age has arrived. South Africa has recently won the World Cup Soccer bid for 2010. This was the final stamp of approval from the world - declaring South Africa the place to be.
We are going to be looking closely at issues in our country - South Africa. Exciting places to go to, things to do, ways to get there and just plain and simple HOW TO HAVE FUN!
There are opportunities in this country that I don't think is possible to access in the first world. People are doing it for themselves - things are starting to happen. The diversity in our country carries through to every aspect of South African life - South African music, that is fast becoming a bubbling pot of cross-over talented acts that will soon have the entire planet say: "Ah ha! They are from South Africa!" We produce world class events all against the backdrop of some of the world’s most beautiful destinations and landmarks like Table Mountain and Robben Island.
Experience South Africa is the flagship site of the Experience South Africa Travel Network. ESA offers from the wildest and most unusual tours to the hottest most happening Restaurants and accommodation choices in South Africa. We give advice on migration, the weather, where to buy a house, up coming events and basically anything that we think the visitor should need and like to know when visiting South Africa.
