The first-ever Fire & Feast Butchers’ Festival presented by Crown National, will be the first-of-its kind in the city of Johannesburg and will kick off at the Ticketpro Dome from Friday, 31 March and will sizzle until Sunday, 2 April 2017 allowing meat lover such as ourselves the opportunity to explore different kinds of cuisines all under one roof.

South Africa is a meat loving nation and eager to learn new trends, pairing and cooking methods. With this in mind, Reed Exhibitions has partnered with Crown National to bring the festival to Johannesburg.

What we’re most interested in, is that the festival will focus on the creation of interactive experiences that provides the attending public with an educational opportunity to understand the various types, cuts and varieties of meat. In addition, explaining how to buy, prepare, pairing techniques and finally, the art of cooking meat. Beyond braai of course. We’re told there’ll be a Beer and Braai Garden, Lamb and Mutton Kitchen, Beef Kitchen and the Wine and Food Pairing Zone as well.
