Held in mid-November every year, Ficksburg declares itself to be the "cherry capital of the world". Many cherry farms hold tours during this time and there are live musical performances on stage during the Cherry Festival show. The festival stretches over 3 days and attracts up to 30,000 people. There are family shows and activities like the herding of sheep, horse rides, camel rides, helicopter flips, steam train rides at Sandstone Estate, tours through town to see the sandstone building architecture which Ficksburg is well known for. There are also tours of the surrounding countryside, tours to the cherry and asparagus farms where people are shown everything about the industry, and airplane trips to the Katse Dam in Lesotho.
Displays around 500 military firearms, militaria and sporting weapons used throughout South Africa's colonial and twentieth century history.
