SPAR Eastern Cape will continue to raise awareness of its STOP Plastic campaign with an innovative introduction to the SPAR Kirkwood Wildsfees in the Eastern Cape town this month.<\/p>\n

The annual festival of music and fun from June 28 to 30 includes a diverse range of options set up by the organisers and encourages patrons to “take a walk on the wild side”.<\/p>\n

SPAR, meanwhile, will introduce a slight twist to that element by urging festival-goers to Take a Walk on the Waste Side, referring to their project of reducing the use of single-use plastic in society.<\/p>\n

This campaign was launched last year and SPAR EC sponsorships and events manager Alan Stapleton said this was another perfect opportunity to create further awareness among the public.<\/p>\n

“This year, SPAR is setting up a maze which will talk to our STOP Plastic campaign where festival-goers will be able to Take a Walk on the Waste Side,” he said.<\/p>\n

“In the maze they will be able to discover a number of alternative ways to use plastic and we hope this will continue the education we would like to achieve with this theme.”<\/p>\n

He added that SPAR Eastern Cape’s commitment to supporting the local community was behind their support of the Wildsfees, saying it all began with their Choose Local campaign.<\/p>\n

“This is a project we started a few years ago where the focus is to ensure we give back to the communities in which we are involved,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The Wildsfees, in turn, ploughs funds back into the local community so that fits in perfectly with the SPAR ethos.<\/p>\n

“The nature of the festival is also about bringing families together, which is another important pillar for SPAR.<\/p>\n

“So while we support an event that creates fun for the whole family, we are also able to support our local communities.”<\/p>\n

Besides polishing an already established product, Stapleton said there were plenty of innovations which would thrill the patrons, while it was also a platform for a wide range or artists and entertainers to add to the excitement and fun of the festival.<\/p>\n

“This is a chance to come out and experience a truly local festival with a great vibe and lots to see, to do and to eat and drink,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Enjoy that while you soak up the music and camaraderie of the Kirkwood community.”<\/p>\n
