Expect snoek braais, a food court, a beer garden, live entertainment, fun rides, face painting and more at this year’s Hout Bay Carnival and Fish Derby, in the Hout Bay Harbour, from Friday December 13 to Monday December 16, say the organisers.
“Can you catch the largest fish? This is our call to everyone wanting to take part in the Fish Derby. The Carnival and Fish Derby is built around the image of the past annual Snoek Derby and Crayfish Derby which was founded in 1979,” said one of the organisers, Roscoe Jacobs.
“These derbies have a long-standing reputation, which spans over 40years and was synonymous with Hout Bay and in particular the image and great and unique character of the fishing community.”
Another organiser, Bongani Tokwe, said the event was meant to show off Hout Bay as a choice destination for tourism, investment, business and leisure, and Mr Jacobs said it also aimed to promote upliftment for children, women and the disabled in the community.
Tickets are available through Quicket. To enter the Fish Derby, email fishderby@hbhc&fd.co.za or call or WhatsApp 072 582 9183.
