About Muldersdrift

Muldersdrift is a rural lifestyle area in Gauteng, straddling the road between Johannesburg and Krugersdorp on the doorstep of the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose fossil caves, including Sterkfontein, have produced some of the world's most significant hominin discoveries. The area's rolling grassland and smallholdings have made it a hub for wedding and event venues, equestrian estates, and boutique producers such as craft distilleries and wine farms. Casino and resort development, notably Silverstar Casino, sits alongside working farms and lodges like Glenburn and Avianto, giving Muldersdrift a mix of rural charm and event-driven tourism. It functions less as a conventional town centre than as a loose collection of estates and venues serving weekend visitors from greater Johannesburg.

Casalinga hosts Worship is Groot 2026, a gospel concert that opens a busy stretch for Muldersdrift, while Tristan Cole Boltman @ Syringa Park brings live music to the Avianto Estate the same weekend. Shoppers can browse From The Ground Market at Ground The Venue, and rock fans have Full Throttle Rock Fest: Spring Edition to look forward to. The year closes out with uManyano lwe Jazz Festival 2026: ROOTED at Casalinga Farm, a multi-day jazz celebration. Across these dates the area mixes live music, markets and festivals set against its farm and estate venues.
