History of the Cape Town Ramadaan and Lifestyle Expo

From modest beginnings at the Cape Town Market in Epping to a Civic hall in

Athlone, the PPC Newlands cricket stadium, and the Castle of Good Hope, the

Radio 786 Ramadaan Expo has grown into one of the biggest events of its kind.

When Radio 786 founded the Ramadaan Expo, the aim was and will always be with the community in mind. This platform affords the community to come to one venue and purchase everything for Ramadaan and Eid. This year it has gone one step further by increasing the range of exhibitors, attractions, specials and amazing big prizes for each day of the Expo. The Radio 786 Cape Town and Lifestyle Expo 2018 will peak the interest of the entire community of the Cape as it showcases smaller expos within this tapestry of exhibitors and panel discussions. The Red Cross Children’s Hospital Trust is the beneficiary of the community fundraiser now in its 9th year.
