Oldest working harbour abuzz with activity
28 Sep, 2013 - 29 Sep, 2013
With the arrival of Summer, the V&A Waterfront will be abuzz with a variety of water-based activities. The Ocean Festival will commence with the annual Blessing of the Fishing Fleet at the end of September, and will conclude with the Cape to Rio yacht race on 4 January 2014. As the variety of events includes something for both young and old, South Africa’s oldest working harbour is undoubtedly the best place to spectate and participate in all things marine.
