Margate Sardine Festival | Event

Kwazulu-Natal Events | South Coast Events | Margate Events

Each year an unbelievable feeding frenzy takes place in the oceans of South Africa as billions of sardines migrate up the Kwa Zulu Natal coast creating a unique and exhilarating experience for divers, birders, whale watchers and anglers.

In celebration of this annual marine phenomenon the South Coast presents a host of activities and events to keep you busy as you anticipate the first sightings of sardines.

The Sardine Festival is a large tourism income generator for KwaZulu Natal, boosting the provincial economy through revenue earned from the provision of accommodation and food as well as the hiring of boats, small aeroplanes and helicopters to maximise the sighting of the Sardine Run.
