Sunset Sessions Emfuleni Park takes place on 12 September 2026 at Emfuleni Park, one of the standout events on the Vaal River Carnival programme this season.
Sunset Sessions brings an evening of live music and entertainment to Emfuleni Park as the Vaal River Carnival moves into its second September weekend. True to its name, the event is built around golden-hour and after-dark programming, giving visitors a scenic setting in one of Sedibeng’s central public parks. Expect food and drink vendors alongside the music line-up, in keeping with the relaxed, open-air format used across several of the carnival’s evening events. It pairs naturally with the same weekend’s F1 Powerboat Race at Emerald Casino, giving visitors a full day-into-night itinerary in the Vaal Triangle. Full line-up and gate details are typically released by organisers in the weeks leading up to the event.
