    The ONLY Enviro-Arts Festival in South Africa

    The Hermanus Whale Festival, the only Enviro-Arts festival in South Africa, is held annually to celebrate the return of the Southern Right whales to the waters of Walker Bay, our magnificent environment and the arrival of Spring! This year the festival attracted 100 000 visitors as compared to the 115 000 in 2008.

     

    Certain local businesses, such as Musica, embraced the marketing opportunity to promote their products and local designer Anneline Moerdijk designed the banner as below. General feedback received indicated that we had a better quality visitor - largely due to the festivals targeted marketing campaign.


    Hermanus, known as the best land based whale watching destination in the world, plays host to thousands of visitors who flock to the seaside resort to exhilarate in the unique natural environment, watch whales, revel in music, comedy and African rhythms throughout the Festival.

    The focus will once again be on our wonderful environment, with a strong emphasis on marine life and protection. Come face to face with Wally the whale and his ocean buddies. Educational displays for little festinos and well known guest speakers are just a few of the highlights!

    Further highlights of the 2009 festival includes the SAB gig rig where our country greats, Billy Forrest, Sally Vaughn and Bobby Angel will take to the stage on Thursday 24 September. On Friday the Four Kings Comedy show will tickle your funny bone and ABBA Magic will bring the great ABBA hits to life on Saturday. Tickets for Gold Circle for Abba Magic are now sold out but a few standard tickets are still available for the Saturday show. Book now to avoid disappointment!

    The Whales 'n Wheels Vintage Classic Car Show has gained momentum and an increased following, and the gleaming machines will be showcased at the Primary School grounds.  Pay a visit to the  Whale of a Wine Festival on Saturday.

    The popular Whale Festival Classic Charity Golf Event will take place at the Hermanus Golf course on Friday, 25 September.

    Little festinos will be further entertained at the Kids Morning Market that will be held at Market Square on Saturday, 26 September from 08:00 to 14:00. Budding entrepreneurs are invited to participate. 

    The National Sea Rescue Institute offers dramatic rescues on Saturday, 26 September. Do read more. 

     

    The whales are always the star performers at the Festival and will be joined on land by musicians, crafters, sports celebrities and thousands of people celebrating Spring in the most beautiful place on earth – Hermanus.

     

     

    Whale watching and shark cage diving, bird watching and Fynbos hikes, baboons and kayak trips are just some of the adventures available. 

    Creation Wines will be hosting a High Tea on Heritage Day and a seafood braai on Sunday, 27 September. Do read more.

    From 24 to 26 September - view a display of clivias at the Side hall at the N G Church.  They will be open daily from 9 am till 5 pm – R10 entrance fee and plants and seeds will be for sale. Refreshments will be served and for further information please contact Caroline Phipps on 07322 15267.
