If you’re keen for some wholesome family fun, a good vibe or trying yourself out in some awesome challenges for a really great cause, then this event should be on your Sunday Funday to-do list!
Johannesburg, South Africa (26 February 2026) – The SA Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind is delighted to announce the return of its annual Family Fun Day!
Taking place on Sunday, 8 March 2026, at its Johannesburg premises, the whole family is invited to enjoy a fun-filled day of entertainment, activities, and unforgettable experiences – all while supporting a truly meaningful cause.
“We’ve put together an exciting line-up to keep everyone entertained throughout the day. Don’t miss the adorable puppies in training as they strut their stuff in the Best Dressed Puppy Parade,” says Nicole Barros from the SA Guide-Dogs Association.
Attendees can expect to be inspired by Assistance Dogs as they showcase their incredible skills in action-packed arena demonstrations. The Orientation and Mobility team will also be in action as they highlight the vital services they provide every day.
If you’re feeling brave, you can take part in a blindfolded walk with one of the guide dogs, which offers a unique and eye-opening experience you won’t soon forget.
“There’s truly something for everyone. Enjoy a guided tour of our facilities, or relax in the charming Tea Garden under the shade of our magnificent oak tree. For younger visitors, the Kids Zone promises endless fun with face painting, a jumping castle, a magician, a puppet show by Leo’s Edutainment, and a few surprise activities along the way,” Nicoles shares.
For the thrill-seekers, a Blind Navigator Challenge is not to be missed. Test your driving skills while blindfolded for a chance to win exciting prizes!
Throughout the day, you soak up the atmosphere with live arena entertainment, browse the market stalls, enjoy live music, indulge in delicious food and treats, or unwind in the Beer Garden.
TV personality and presenter, Survivor SA Season 7 runner-up and Mrs South Africa 2018, Nicole Capper, will serve as MC for the event – keeping the energy high and ensuring you don’t miss a moment of the action.
That’s not all! You could walk away as the lucky winner of a brand new car. Purchase your raffle tickets on the day, and the winner will be announced in the afternoon at the event.
“Bring the whole family for a day of excitement and fun with the SA Guide Dogs Association. We can’t wait to see you there!”
*Please note: No pets allowed, only Assistance Dogs
