About the Hantam Vleisfees
Calvinia in the Northern Cape is sheep country, and this festival celebrates meat. There's meat braaied, stewed, curried, in pita, on sosaties, in potjies - you can even pick up a done-to-perfection sheep's head!
First held in 1989, the two-day Hantam Vleisfees has a music concert, street party, vintage car rally and, a highlight for many, the Miss Vleisfees competition - a glittering affair with dinner and dancing.
To avoid disappointment it is advisable to book your accommodation well in advance for this event. Visit the Calvinia Accommodation pages to find guest houses, hotels and self catering places to stay and for additional info about Calvinia which includes attractions, restaurants and things to do, see Calvinia Info.
