The Rand Show, previously known as the Rand Easter Show, is an annual show held in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is the largest consumer exhibition in Southern Africa. It has been an important event in the city for many years, attracting in excess of 400,000 visitors in 2007.[1] It was also called the Grand Rand Show, when it was held a few weeks outside of Easter in the late 1980s.[2]
There were no shows in 2020-21 due to COVID-19 restrictions on major events. The event has been held again since 2024. The next event is scheduled for 17 April to 21 April 2025.[3][4] Besides the Boer War, other cancellations occurred in 1915–18 & 1940–45.
