Events – HomeComing Events

HomeComing Africa

HomeComing first started off as a picnic in 2008, commonly known as HomeComing Picnic. At the end of 2015 transitioned the already successful picnic into a day and night festival titled HomeComing Picnic, The End of An Era. The following year as the start of a new era, HCE hosted the first HomeComing Africa festival. In 2017 HCE expanded the HCA festival from the 2016 pilot to an 18-hour festival that featured multiple stages as well as cultural and food exhibitions. The Year 2018 brought about a version of HCA that focused on telling the story of music with a combination of local and Pan African artists. The festival serves as the musical aspect that started the HomeComing movement. Previous festivals have seen thousands of Africans come together in celebration of their love for music.

Tshwanefontein

Commonly referred to as “The Fountain of Youth” is a cross culture event that is presented by HCE which seeks to build a social bridge for the youth, who have shared artistic and musical taste. The event takes place on the last Sunday of each month at African Beer Emporium in the 012 Central courtyard with a line-up comprising of alternative sounds from local acts to one headliner performers per event. Tshwanefontein has a constantly growing clientele which currently sits at 1300 every month but is expected to continue the upward trend.

Polokwanefontein

When “The Fountain of Youth” invades Polokwane. Over the past 11 years, HomeComing Events has received tremendous support from the people of Polokwane. HomeComing Picnic saw its first trip to Polokwane in 2013 which was ultimately a success. Additionally, HCE hosted a Polokwane experience in collaboration with Major League Gardens on the 16th of December 2014 at the Polokwane Stadium where it attracted just over 6000 locals and loyal patrons who travelled from Gauteng and other provinces. Hence, as a way to give back to them we decided to take one of our best events to the province.

Suit & Tie

In order to celebrate the birthday of our very own Neo Moela, we present to you Suit & Tie. The event is held to celebrate and honour Mr Moela through a night of elegance, largely dosed with suave, sexy, sultry, and sophisticated fun.
