Oyster Festival almost here
The 29th Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival will take place from July 6 to 15, 2012.
Highlights
The highlight of the lifestyle event calendar each year is the midweek culinary experience. This year, the festival introduces the Pick n Pay Flavours of Knysna which takes place on Wednesday July 11.
Restaurants in and around Knysna will showcase their menus in what promises to be an evening of oyster indulgence and culinary delights. Participating restaurants will compete in a variety of categories for prizes which will be adjudicated by a respected panel of judges. There will be plenty food and drink available including Knysna’s famous delicacy – oysters!
Also new at the festival is the Knysna Wine Festival and Night Market which takes place on Monday July 9 and Tuesday July 10. Held in a Bedouin tent at the Nedbank Pavilion, the Night Market will be a unique place for families and friends to meet to sample local fare, mingle with visitors and locals and listen to live music.
On Wednesday July 11, ‘Kom Braai’, a braai competition for children between eight and 14, will take place at Nedbank Pavilion. To encourage children to get outdoors and enjoy cultural fun with friends and family, participants armed with Pick n Pay braai meat will don their aprons and fight it out for the title of ‘best braaier’.
For music lovers, talented and much loved SA singer and songwriter Lize Beekman will be performing for one night only on Saturday 7 July.
