Rose Sunday Picnic 2026: Welcoming the Season in Spectacular Style
As the autumn air begins to settle over Gauteng, there is no better way to embrace the change than with the first Rose Sunday Picnic of 2026. Taking place on Sunday, 29 March 2026, this event promises an unforgettable day of relaxation, music, and “Instagrammable” moments. Set against the breathtaking, manicured backdrop of Kuhle Lodge & Wedding Resort in Donkerhoek, the picnic is designed to be the ultimate escape for those looking to unwind in style.
Whether you are catching up with old friends or making new ones, the Rose Sunday Picnic serves as a cultural meeting point for the province’s trendsetters. The event focuses on creating a “soft life” atmosphere where the stresses of the city melt away, replaced by the sounds of live soul and soulful house music.
A Garden Affair at Kuhle Lodge & Wedding Resort
The choice of venue for the 2026 season opener is no coincidence. Kuhle Lodge & Wedding Resort offers a premium outdoor setting that combines rustic charm with modern elegance. Transitioning from the bustling streets of Pretoria or Johannesburg to this serene resort feels like a true holiday, despite being just a short drive away.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own picnic baskets and blankets to set up their “home for the day” on the lush lawns. For those who prefer a more “hands-off” approach, on-site vendors will offer a curated selection of gourmet snacks and local beverages.
