Tuks Rag Festival 8 Feb 2008

The Tuks Rag Festival is bringing you something regular, international and local

Vodacom, Smirnoff Spin, Tuks Rag and OppiKoppi Productions are proud to announce the inclusion of an international band on this year’s Tuks Rag Farm Festival line-up. The Tuks Rag Festival has become a national treasure to both old and young with each year throwing massive parties over the Rag week in beginning of February, and it is all for the cause of raising money for charity. 2008 is an even more special year for the University of Pretoria as the University is 100 years old. Get to the Tuks Rag Farm Festival on 8 February for a bash with local artists and an international band, set to rock three different stages. On 9 February, the Tuks Rag Festival will be taking over the streets of Pretoria again with their annual procession which will end in Hatfield, followed by an after party on Hatfield Square.
