Whiskey, Whales & Jazz Festival in Plettenberg Bay

Whiskey, Whales and Jazz - enough words to describe this excellent event in September


In celebration of National Tourism Month, Plettenberg Bay has extended their annual Whiskey, Whales and Jazz spectacular to a week-long festival from 20 - 28 September, certainly labeling the event a must do if you are anywhere near the Garden Route.

The natural beauty of Bitou, the name for the greater Plettenberg region, has attracted some of the top musicians in the country.

Music being performed will represent an accessible, yet cutting-edge musical fusion of jazz with world music and a uniquely South African flavour.

This jam-packed festival calendar features sizzling hot jazz, whiskey tasting in the finest local venues as well as spectacular whale sightings guaranteed to create an unforgettable holiday experience.

The festival highlight is the Heritage Jazz Concert on Saturday, 27 September.

The more adventurous can look forward to the second edition of the Robberg Express Challenge.

Don't miss top talent fresh off the international jazz stages for an electric combination of eclectic classic and contemporary jazz intertwined with the unmistakable rhythms of Africa.
