It’s getting hot out there! Grab your family and friends and head to the Garden Route for the biggest summer festival in South Africa. The Summer Sun Festival takes place at the Diaz Strand Hotel in Mossel Bay from the 8th of December 2008 to the 8th of January 2009. Attracting more than a million visitors each year, this festival has it all from wine, beauties to music.
The celebration kicks off this year on 12 December with Laurika Rauch, who is one of Afrikaans music’s celebrated stars. Laurika’s career spans over 20 years and she will be performing on 12 December 2008 at the Diaz Strand Hotel’s Pero Dias Theatre as part of the official launch of the 2008 Summer Sun Festival.
And don't miss the first Diaz Decadence Festival, featuring an Amsterdam-esque street festival with a feast of fine wine. Cellars across the country will be partaking in this event which takes place from the 12th till the 14th of December 2008.
The highlight of the festival is the Miss Diaz beauty pageant. Twelve stunning women will converge on the same stage to compete for the 2008 Miss Diaz Strand title. The winner automatically qualifies for entry into the 2009 Miss South Africa Pageant. The Miss Diaz pageant will take place on 27 December 2008 and is guaranteed to be a fabulous night out with hostess Amore Vittone.
Like the more rugged approach to life? Try the SPAR “Hot Summer of Touch” Touch Rugby Tournament, one of the biggest events on the festive season’s calendar for 2008/2009. After 30 years in the touch rugby game, the event has lost none of its momentum and simply grows in stature every year. The games kick off in full gear on 29 December, so swing past and see who will be found with their faces in the sand.
Live entertainment throughout the festival will include Chris Chameleon, Nianel, Mel Botes in a tribute to Pink Floyd, as well as many other celebrities. Adding to the list of local celebrities - Ivan Zimmerman and Stefan Ludik will be MC’s on the outside stage. The Egoli road show will be in town over the festive season - so don’t forget to catch your favourite soap stars right there!
Where can I stay? Book a bed at the Diaz Strand Hotel.
