The event was dominated by the youth enjoying themselves, drinking different types

of alcohol. The bar man made sure that he never disappoints. What was surprising

that day is that the bar man made so many mocktails and that proved that the event

was huge and even people that are not alcohol consumers were part of the event.

“I was very happy to be attending the Last picnic before winter event because I got a

chance to see the DJ’s and little-known artists around Pretoria performing live,

nothing felt wrong or went wrong on my side,” said Sthandiwe Dludlu who attended

the event.

The significant spirit was brought by the different DJ’s and little-known artists. Ms
