Upcoming events in George and the Garden Route

You surely won’t be surprised to discover that there are a number of high-energy sports events and fun outdoor activities taking place this spring in the Garden Route. There’s simply no better time or place to enjoy the country’s beautiful outdoors!

The Honey Trail MTB race takes place from 9-11 September and runs from Mossel Bay to Plett, with overnight stays in George and Knysna. The 260km route will stay south of the Outeniqua Mountains, and entrants are able to choose their race packages and add partners to their accommodation.

Next up is the fantastic week-long Plett Festival, previously known as the Whiskey, Whales and Jazz Festival, which makes the most of the mild spring weather in the Garden Route. The event features some of the country’s top jazz musicians, and other attractions include whiskey tastings, exciting whale safaris, sports events and a golf day at the spectacular Goose Valley Golf Course. The festival runs from 18-26 September.
