This is not just another food festival. This is where the heart of South Africa’s street food culture explodes into life. On Saturday, 25 October 2025, the Willowmoore Cricket Stadium in Benoni transforms into a kota paradise as the very first Benoni Kota Fest powered by Sunbake takes over the East Rand. Think sizzling grills, creamy cheese, soft bread, local beats, family fun — and a celebration of Mzansi’s favourite meal like never before.
