Rand Show

According to the organiser, the Rand Show runs from 25 to 29 March 2027 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre (Nasrec), corner of Nasrec Road and Randshow Road, Johannesburg. TradeShowBuzz lists the same dates and venue. It is open daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and the entrance gate closes at 6:00 PM.

When we read the organiser's website, the 2027 ticket sale was marked as coming soon and the prices were from the 2026 show and subject to change. The tickets page lists adults (13+) priced at R130, children aged 3 to 12 at R90 with under-3s free, pensioners at R90, and a family package of 2 adults and 2 children at R350 online only. It also lists an opening day special on Thursday 25 March priced at R60. The event page shows slightly different figures, so check the final price at checkout.

The organiser says tickets can be bought online, through TicketPro, at Spar and Pick n Pay, or at the gate each day, and recommends buying online to avoid queues. Parking is priced at R30 and the organiser says security patrols cover it.

The organiser's event page describes a shopping hall, a free music festival, a kids zone in Hall 8, an adrenaline zone with theme park rides, an SANDF display, a bridal, beauty, fashion and matric dance fair and a gaming and e-sports area. The listed attractions are from the 2026 show, so the 2027 line-up may change.

According to the organiser, pets are not allowed except service dogs, and outside food, drinks and camp chairs cannot be brought in. Halal food, baby-changing facilities and prayer rooms are available.

The organiser asks prospective exhibitors to make an appointment with a sales executive, because walk-in enquiries are not permitted. Contact eugene@randshow.co.za, nkateko@randshow.co.za or tiisetso@randshow.co.za, or call 011 494 2894. Visitors can write to info@randshow.co.za. The organiser says food vendor applications have closed.
