Visitors will be treated to local cuisine, entertainment, a mountain bike fun ride as well as a soap-box race. The highlight of the festival is its unique Winter Fynbos Show – the main reason why the festival takes place in the winter. Sheep dogs will demonstrate their herding skills, 4x4 enthusiasts will be catered for at the 4x4 Obstacle Challenge and local artists like Dillon Lerm, Die Broers and Rooies will entertain the crowds with their music.
“Festivals like these with their strong local flavour are a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit shared by many South Africans, but specifically those living in the Western Cape. This particular festival is also a wonderful opportunity for locals to celebrate our magnificent floral kingdom, which is at its best during the winter months,” says Alan Winde, MEC for Finance, Economic Development and Tourism.
Calvyn Gilfellan, CEO of Cape Town Routes Unlimited, destination marketing organisation for Cape Town and the Western Cape, agrees with this and adds, “What can be more gratifying to a tourist than to arrive in a town and find that the party is already going strong and all that is required of him or her is to join in the fun. Fees van die Ganse is starting to become an institution and I hope that it will soon be just as big as the Knysna Oyster Festival.”
