THE BEST 10 DAYS OF YOUR WINTER !!!

The Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival is 25 years old!

Pack your running and cycling shoes, sharpen your appetite and head for Knysna for the 10 best days of your winter…with 25 years of fun and games to celebrate this year, the annual Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival (July 4-13), one of the country’s longest running festivals, will boast a jam-packed programme of sport, entertainment and 200 000 oysters!

Oysters, the tasty mollusc that made the festival famous, will be the main act this year and you’ll find them featured in more than 30 delectable ways at the local Tabasco Oyster Hotspots in and around Knysna. Don’t miss the Pick n Pay Oyster and Wine Mardi Gras, a celebration of cooked oysters and wine, or the popular Oyster Eating and Oyster Opening (Shucking) Competitions which give locals and visitors the chance to compete in the festival’s unique annual championships.

There is something for everyone in the programme. In addition to the popular cycling tours and marathons, this year’s events include Bridge, bowls, soccer, golf, basketball and adventure sports. We’re catering for party-goers and the young-at-heart with a Wine Festival, a Whisky and Jazz Festival and a full eight-day Pick n Pay Young Oyster Festival programme especially for kids. Look out for an exciting programme of events planned for the Oyster Carnival grounds at the Knysna High School field and live entertainment at the Heineken Rockspots.

The Oyster Festival is about enjoying a great party in Knysna, for the benefit of the whole community. Many events will be hosted by the community and virtually all have a charity component, meaning that a percentage of funds raised will go to support local development, NGOs and charities.

So start planning now for the best 10 days of your winter! The full Oyster Festival programme is on this website and you can also check out our hot accommodation specials.

See you in Knysna!
