This 6 December, 2025, the valley of Ceres bursts into cherry season as the inaugural Ceres Cherry Festival kicks off a day filled with flavour, music, and family fun.

Brought to you by Freshmark and proudly sponsored by Cherry Time™ and Witzenberg Properties, the festival gathers families, friends, and cherry-lovers of all ages to celebrate the region’s most anticipated harvest.

Festival-goers can look forward to cherry-inspired treats, local food stalls, kids’ entertainment, and a bustling market filled with artisan crafts and handmade delights.

As dusk falls, the energy rises with live performances by Refentse and Die Piesangskille, providing the perfect soundtrack to a summer evening under the Ceres stars.

More than just a festival, the Ceres Cherry Fest is a joyful showcase of community, creativity, and the sweet taste of the season.
