St David’s Marist Inanda Brings Back SpringFest 2025 for a Day of Music, Food, and Family Fun
Celebrating spring in Sandton
Johannesburg is gearing up for a festival that brings music, community, and sunshine together in one vibrant package. St David’s Marist Inanda will host its second annual SpringFest on Saturday, 27 September 2025, and if last year’s debut is anything to go by, it is set to become a highlight on the city’s social calendar.
The event takes place at the school’s Sandown campus, a venue known for its central location and excellent facilities. With ample parking and a reputation for top-notch security, it is designed to welcome families and festival-goers without the stress that usually comes with big events. The setting allows for open-air fun while keeping the atmosphere safe and accessible for everyone.
Music to lift the season
SpringFest 2025 will strike a strong musical note. The day begins with performances by the talented St David’s Marist Inanda Bands, giving local student musicians the chance to showcase their work. From there, the stage will heat up with the arrival of top South African acts. Mi Casa, one of the country’s most loved live groups, will bring their blend of soulful house and jazz-infused pop to the festival. Later, DJ Kent takes over with a high-energy set that promises to get the crowd dancing into the evening.
This mix of student talent and headline stars reflects the spirit of SpringFest itself: a celebration of community pride while drawing in some of the country’s biggest names to entertain the crowd.
Food, markets, and a place to unwind
No South African festival is complete without food, and SpringFest delivers plenty of choice. Dozens of stalls will serve a range of flavours, from street-style snacks to hearty meals. Visitors can browse a curated market while enjoying their plates, making it easy to eat, shop, and socialise all in one space.
For adults looking to relax, the dedicated gin, beer, and wine bars will offer a laid-back corner to enjoy a drink. This balance between family-friendly fun and grown-up indulgence ensures the event appeals to multiple generations.
Something for every age
Parents with young children can take advantage of the vibrant kiddies’ area, packed with games and entertainment that allow kids to have fun in a safe environment. Older children and teenagers can head to the popular teen zone, which offers activities designed with them in mind.
And for rugby fans, SpringFest has made sure no one misses out. A live screening of the South Africa vs. Argentina test match will run during the event, giving sports enthusiasts the chance to soak up the festival atmosphere without giving up their Saturday game tradition.
Why SpringFest matters
Events like SpringFest play a bigger role than simply offering a day out. They help build community spirit in a city where busy schedules and urban sprawl often keep people apart. For St David’s Marist Inanda, hosting such a gathering shows how schools can become cultural anchors, opening their doors to the public for celebration and togetherness.
In a city as diverse as Johannesburg, a festival that blends live music, sport, shopping, and family entertainment reflects the city’s dynamic culture. SpringFest offers something rare: a space where multiple generations and interests can converge and share the same day without compromise.
