Lusito Land first opened its doors in 1981 as a festival that celebrated the Portuguese tradition and culture. Over the last 33 years, it has evolved into a festival celebrated by the many cultures that make up Johannesburg and Gauteng. The Portuguese tradition has however been sustained in the wonderful traditional flavours of the fine cuisine that is an important facet in the Portuguese heritage.
Lusito Land has proven to be a crowd-pleaser and was voted no fewer than 11 times as “Best Festival” by Leisure Options Magazine readers. 160,000 visitors annually walk through the gates and proving it to be the ideal family day out ahead of Gauteng’s winter months.
Tickets are available at a cost of R60 for adults and R30 for children under the age of 12 and pensioners. Children under the age of three gain free access.
