The festial kicks off on 30 November 2019 when ‘the iconic Victoria Yards becomes the scene of an elaborate celebration of craft gin culture’ once more.

It is said that the festival offers a highly engaging and entertaining showcase of the country’s most popular, lesser-known and new gin brands, as well as a selection of premium internationals – creating a theatrical platform for them to shine and showcase their handiwork to South Africa’s gin enthusiasts.

Filling out the offering is a bounty of delicious artisanal eats by Joburg’s street food stars and a diverse lineup of musical acts across multiple stages, all in celebration of the makers, merchants and mixers behind South Africa’s most exciting spirit. 

Some of these artists include DJ Melitia, Housecatz, Jackie Queens, Wenawedwa among many more.

Victoria Yards:

According to Gauteng Attractions, Victoria Yards is an innovative architectural ecosystem in Johannesburg’s inner city and a seamless blend of urban living, community upliftment, artisanal projects, skills incubation and retail opportunity.

Victoria Yards comprises artisanal studios, an urban farming practice that grows seasonal fruit and vegetables, a skills development wing, various art galleries and more.

The complex is the brainchild of visionary developer Brian Green, who, in 2017, remodelled derelict warehouses and industrial buildings built in 1913 to create the avant-garde inner-city cultural hub.
