Vaal Spring Break President Park takes place on 3 October 2026 at President Park, one of the standout events on the Vaal River Carnival programme this season.
Vaal Spring Break brings a day of spring-themed entertainment to President Park, giving the Vaal Carnival’s October weekend a family- and lifestyle-focused event alongside the fashion showcase running at Vaal Mall the same weekend. Expect outdoor activities, music and vendors in keeping with the relaxed, open-air format used at President Park’s other carnival fixtures, such as Lekompo La Vaal earlier in the programme. It’s positioned as a lighter, more casual counterpart to the carnival’s sporting and comedy events, suited to visitors wanting an easygoing spring outing in the Vaal Triangle. As with other carnival events at President Park, arrive early for parking and seating, and check organiser channels for the full day’s schedule.
