There is never an event that rivals the Oyster Festival in Knysna and days are starting to be counted. Knysna is one of the top oyster cultivating town on the Garden Route where oyster cultivation dates back to 1949. That’s good enough a reason to indulge in 10 days of such joyous celebrations. Despite the recent devastating fires in the town, the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival 2017 is going ahead as planned and it is set to delight.
This year’s event will take place from the 7th to the 16th of July. The annual event, as any other year will bring families, sport lovers and foodies together to celebrate what is best described as ” the best 10 days in winter“. Why couldn’t it be when an estimate of 200 000 oysters are consumed over this 10-day period?
The events will feature several activities for every attendee to enjoy. From The Momentum Knysna Cycle Tour, The BIG 5 Challenge, The Pezula Golf Tournament to the Oyster Rapid Chess Tournament. For kids, the BIG5 Junior Challenge, the Simola Little Phantom Kids Adventure Run, the Fun Fair and the The Momentum Health Kiddies Area will keep the little ones occupied well – enough. Foodies will especially enjoy the Pick n Pay Seafood Wednesday – back by public demand, were top restaurants will showcase the best of their culinary skills of seafood. The Pick n Pay SASSI Fish Braai, Oyster Shucking and Eating Competitions will also be a great amusement. There will be more activities to enjoy and you sure will find a few suited for you.
The festival will also be a perfect opportunity to explore Knysna at its best. Whether you are new to the town or not, it won’t harm to pay the Knysna Heads a visit, Garden Route National park, Thesens Wharf and many other attractions Knysna has to offer.
