Lighthouse Festival set to shine
The event will rejuvenate the beachfront.
THE South Coast Herald and E’byoza Girls events company have teamed up to launch what is hoped will become an annual event, the Lighthouse Festival, on the newly revamped Port Shepstone beachfront.
The inaugural festival takes place on Heritage Day, Tuesday, September 24, which also doubles as national Braai Day.
Last Wednesday, a number of guests attended a launch party at Stages Restaurant to shed more light on this fabulous festival.
The programme will include beach sports events such as aerobics, a fun run/walk, volleyball, five-a-side-soccer and a tug of war with teams representing their particular heritage. The beachfront will also have various stalls selling food, clothing and traditional goods.
Various cultural organisations will be encouraged to take part in a ‘Lighthouse Carnival’ with floats and people in traditional dress. Also on the cards is a braai/potjie competition, dancing and live music.
Another initiative is for townspeople to ‘Own a Piece of Sheppie’ through their community organisations. The idea is for organisations to identify a spot and sponsor a bench, garden, dustbin or whatever their budget allows, where they can proudly display their organisation’s logo.
