Old School Picnic takes place on 5–6 September 2026 at Germiston Lake, one of the standout events on Gauteng’s spring calendar this season.
Old-school heads, this one is for you. The Old School Picnic lands at Germiston Lake for a weekend celebrating R&B;, house classics and the throwback anthems that shaped a generation. Spread a blanket on the lawn by the water as resident and guest DJs take turns on the decks, spinning nostalgic hits from midday into the night. Expect a lively mix of food and beverage vendors, a relaxed festival atmosphere, and a crowd that knows every lyric to the golden-era tracks on rotation. Strictly for adults 18 and over, this Ekurhuleni gathering is built for anyone who grew up on old-school R&B; and wants to relive it outdoors with friends. Pack your cooler bag, bring your dancing shoes, and settle in lakeside for a proper old-school throwdown.
