Beer lovers have time of their lives with live music and street-style food
The Pretoria National Botanical Gardens was transformed into a lively haven for beer lovers and music fans on Saturday, as Capital Craft Beer hosted its annual Beer Festival there, now in its 12th year of celebration.
Residents poured in for an unforgettable day of enjoying craft beer, live music across all genres, and a feast of street-style food from top local vendors.
There was a selection of local and international brews, with festivalgoers being spoiled for choice, from crisp lagers to bold Indian Pale Ales (IPAs).
Over the past decade, the festival has become a cornerstone on Pretoria's social calendar, celebrating South Africa's thriving beer scene while bringing the community together through music, laughter, and shared experiences.
The sound of live guitar riffs also echoed across the lush lawns.
Among the day's highlight performances was the legendary Mango Groove, drawing eager anticipation from the crowd.
Shylah Hepke, a local attendee, shared her excitement.
'Of course I am also looking forward to nice music, dancing and some nice beer,' she said.
Fellow attendee Xanthé van Loggerenberg was just as enthusiastic.
'I am also looking forward to the games that are displayed here,' she said.

Highland glory on display at Pretoria high school
Pretoria Boys High School was transformed into a scene from the Scottish Highlands this weekend, as it played host to the annual Pretoria Highland Gathering – a day bursting with tradition, music, and festive flair. Pipe bands from across South Africa descended on the school's historic grounds, dressed in full regalia, to compete in stirring performances that echoed across the lawns. Residents were treated to a colourful craft market and a smorgasbord of food stalls that satisfied every craving, while kids enjoyed dedicated activities and Highland dancing displays. The rhythm of bagpipes was matched only by the buzz of excitement from the crowd. Attendee Belinda Ormiston, who travelled from Johannesburg, said she came to cheer on her son, a member of the King Edward VII (KES) pipe band. 'I did want this special moment for both of us, and I hope they will win,' she said at the time. Reabetswe Taele from Ekurhuleni, a proud member of another competing band, praised the warm hospitality. 'Pretorians are so welcoming, and I would come to compete again. All the pipe bands here are the best, and I wish them all the best of luck,' she said. In addition to the musical spectacle, attendees explored a dazzling car display by the Pretoria Old Motor Club, an art and photography exhibition, and relaxed in the beer and tea gardens. The day reached its emotional peak with the Massed Pipes and Drums, a breathtaking finale that united all bands in a stirring show of unity and sound.
