Family fun on Father's Day
Mthobeli, Nhlosenhle, Kuhle and Zama Mbatha enjoy some family fun at CraftFest. Image: Tumi Pakkies/ Independent Newspapers The sun shone on our Father's Day CraftFest as dads, granddads and even great grandad's and their families gathered from around greater Durban and the mildlands for a day of family fun. Brought to you be the Independent on Saturday and the Shongweni Farmers and Craft Market, the annual event is a celebration of everything craft, from craft beers, spirits and cocktails, to delicious artisanal foods and great music from top local bands. And we musn't forget the many crafters who sell their interesting wares. Held at the Shongweni Market site, it is a relaxed day in the country for people from all walks of life to come together to celebrate life and community, and cherish the handmade over the mass produced. And the kids too could have fun whether on the zip line or Shongweni Express, or with face painting or in the bubble house or even with quad bikes and paintball, while the adults could dance on the lawn and take in the afternoon sun. They snacked on lavish top burgers and hot dogs, platters of deli meats, olives and cheeses, gourmet pizza slices, fresh fish and chips, and some of the best dim sum I've tasted in Durban. Even the vegans were looked after. Video Player is loading.
