Southwestern Loeriesfontein forms part of the wider Namaqualand - an area which is well known for its beautiful spring flowers, and also for its great variety of plus minus 4000 different plants. Most of these plants can be found in the vicinity of Loeriesfontein.
During August/ September, after good and timely rains, in the beautiful sceneries of springflowers can be seen in town itself on empty plots, the golfcourse and on the Kliprand and Calvinia roads.
The flower season sometimes lasts until October depending on when the rain came. October is the month for the "vygies" (Mesembrianthemum) with large areas covered in lilac, pink and red, which are unbelievably beautiful - like a woven carpet.
For more than 40 years the annual agricultural show (approximately October month) is a social highlight on the community calender. The effective and well-planned sheep complex makes shows on Provincial and National level possible. The Western Cape Saddle Horse Regional Show is also presented here.
