Which is good news for two wonderful home-grown outdoor events that you really shouldn't miss.
Community Love Picnic
Hang out on the Fingo Multipurpose Centre lawns opposite Fingo Square for a Valentine's Day with a difference this year – and contribute to a worthwhile Arts cause.
With jumping castles for abantwana and games for the whole family, the vibe promises to be festive, fun and loving in the best possible way.
Donations at the gate or money from pre-bought tickets will contribute toward the Fingo Fest Children's Programme during the National Arts Festival later this year.
