Whale Festival in South Africa

Whale Festival in South Africa is the most attractive event in late September.

Described as an ‘Enviro-Arts’ festival, the real stars of this show are the migrating Southern Right Whales, who are the main focus of this South African event.

Hermanus is renowned as the best land-based whale watching destination in the world, and each year some 100,000 visitors flock to the pretty seaside town to experience the whales, enjoy some truly delicious food and revel in great music and a festive atmosphere!

This is a great festival for the whole family, with kid’s entertainment, street parades, live shows, film, music, local arts and crafts, the Marine ECO Village, and even a Whales and Wheels Classic Car Show!
