Fiesta se '10 uit 10' 8ste beste fees in die land! Moet dit nie mis nie!
The Lambertsbaai Kreeffees 2017 was dealt a heavy blow when the Weskus kreef (Jasus lalandii) was placed on SASSI’S red list from 20 December 2016.
The planning committee supports SASSI’S initiative to discourage consumers from buying and suppliers from selling species on the red list to ensure the sustainability of our beloved kreef. Kreef will accordingly not be available in abundance as in previous years.
This also means that the name of the Fees change to the Lambertsbaai Fees.
Visitors will still be treated to a unique Weskus and Lamberts’ Bay experience set against the backdrop of waves slowly rolling in, breath taking sunsets over the fishing harbour and gannets and seagulls living on Bird Island nearby. Come and feast on a variety of seafood dishes, other true Weskus dishes, fresh locally sourced produce, local wines, handcrafted items, artworks, music and much more. Come and experience our renowned hospitality for yourself this long weekend in March 2017.
The idea behind the festival was born in the imaginations of a couple of eager community members who believed that Lamberts Bay needed such an event not only to boost tourism, but also to enable the town to generate profits in order to better the lives of those in the community.
A meeting was called and the community invited. All agreed that the festival should become an annual event.
The first festival was held in March 2002 and is now run as a registered Section 21 Company, held by 4 directors of whom 2 male, 2 female and 16 committee members depicting all members of the community who receive no financial gain for any member by being part of the committee and that their services are rendered free of charge.
All funds will be ploughed back into the community to enable certain identified organisations, institutions and programmes to be funded to improve the lives of under privileged residents in the community.
