New venue in Knysna for Oyster Festival hub!

The Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival has a new venue in Knysna, due to the fact that the traditional venue at Loerie Park has been booked for the whole of June by the Danish football team, which will make its base camp at Simola Hotel & Spa in Knysna and will be using the Loerie Park field for practice. This will not give the Oyster Festival operations team enough time to set up the Heineken Pavilion before the opening of the festival on 2 July. The festival hub has therefore been moved to Waterfront Drive and will be known as the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival Grounds. The Heineken® Pavilion will be erected here and this is where the start and finish of the Pick n Pay Weekend Argus Rotary Knysna Cycle Tours will take place and the Pick n Pay Cape Times Knysna Forest Marathon will finish. The Heineken® Pavilion is also the venue for the Pick n Pay Oyster & Wine Mardi Gras sponsored by Tabasco on Wednesday 7 July, and the Official Heineken® Afterparty on Saturday 10 July at which the Parlotones and Flat Stanley will be playing. The Oyster Festival Grounds will also host the Oyster Carnival with its fun fair and craft stalls.
