The Paarl town hall is packed with 400 senior citizens every year for Paarl Rotary’s annual free variety concert. The annual concert was launched 40 years ago as a service to the community The artists perform songs that take the audience back to their favourite memories, with many of them singing (and dancing) along to the tunes. All role players offered their services free of charge, while transport and refreshments are provided by Paarl Rotary. Performers in the Rotary variety concert have included marimba players, dancers, singers and musicians.
Paarl, renowned for its illustrious history and haunting scenery, is situated 57 km from Cape Town in the winelands of the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is dominated by mountain ranges and the large granite outcrop of Paarl Rock, after which our town is named. The first settlers in the 17th century called the rock the Parel (Dutch for pearl) for the way it glistened after rain.
