Ballito the place to be this summer

Things are heating up for summer and Ballito is the place to be in December with the Tropika Summer Fest heading our way.

For more than a decade, locals and holidaymakers have been flocking to this entertaining festival, with last year’s Tropika Summer Fever attracting more than 25 000 people.

“Tropika will be at the beaches to bring our fans exciting entertainment and fun family activities so that they have a smooth holiday. What better way to enjoy the summer sun than with the smooth taste of Tropika!,” said Brand Group Manager Tropika, Miantha Padayachee.

This year Ballito’s Willard beach and Margate on the south coast will host KwaZulu-Natal’s longest-running beach festival.

Expext a number of family-friendly activities like limbo dancing, a sandcastle building competition, dance competitions every day, children’s dance lessons as well as daily giveaway prizes.

Tropika dancers will be keeping the crowds entertained with dancers taking to the stage every hour.

For the sports enthusiasts and active girls and guys there will be plenty of beach volleyball and touch rugby events with a knockout tournament to declare the day’s winners.

Beach goers will be thoroughly entertained participating in the exciting Tropika treasure chest hunts which will be held every hour.

For this adventure, people are encouraged to buy a refreshing Tropika with which they will receive a key that could potentially open the treasure chest. Those lucky enough to have the right key will be able to select any item from the treasure chest as a prize.

Those looking for something a little more laid-back are invited to relax in the Chill Zone, while sipping on a refreshingly cold Tropika Eazy or a Tropika Smoooth Ice Cocktail.

And anyone daring enough is encouraged to enter the fabulous beach body competition where the coveted titles of Mr or Miss Tropika Summer Fever 2014 are up for grabs.

These will be held on 22 December in Margate and 26 December in Ballito.

On 26 December, the smooth summer fun will be filtering through radios across the province as Durban’s Number One radio station, East Coast Radio, will be broadcasting live from the centre of the Tropika Summer Fever action at Ballito’s Willard Beach.
