The Cherry Festival Committee is already gearing up to bring you a totally “new” and revamped Cherry Festival, full of exciting, fresh ideas! Last year must surely rate as the most trying of all the years I’ve been involved with the festival, with the recession and people’s money worries no doubt responsible for the fact that we attracted only 22 000 people, in contrast to the 25 000 of the previous year.

One of the most difficult things to do is to maintain a good brand name and the Cherry Festival is no exception. Following a survey last year in which people were asked to rate this annual event, the organising committee and I decided that it was in our own interests to re-develop the festival to include all aspects of family entertainment, so look out for this facet at the 2012 festival. Attending exhibitions like the Getaway Show and Indaba have been very useful as platforms to introduce our festival to the rest of South Africa. .. As a festival, we are very open to criticism and always try to react in a positive way to make changes and bring you only the best. Make sure to diarise the Cherry Festival for November and enjoy a magical experience with us. GAVIN BOY CO-ORDINATOR
