The Toyota Easter Festival at Kyalami Park Club runs from 28 March to 6 April 2026 and continues Toyota South Africa Motors’ long-standing involvement in the event.
Toyota’s presence is visible throughout the programme, beginning with a vehicle parade that showcases the brand to spectators.
The company’s name is attached to the headline competitions, including the Pony Rider Toyota SA Outdoor Grand Prix, the Junior Toyota SA Outdoor Grand Prix and the Adult 1.50m Toyota SA Outdoor Grand Prix, which takes place on 6 April.
Beyond the arena, Toyota supports family activities such as Easter egg hunts and contributes to the wider festival atmosphere with food and market stalls, children’s entertainment and other attractions.
The partnership also extends to the Kyalami Park Club Academy, where riders benefit from training and development opportunities during the show.
