Celebrate the arrival of the Southern
Right Whales at the annual Hermanus
Times Kalfiefees, in Onrus on the so-called Whale
Coast.
The Hermanus Kalfiefees,
Afrikaans for calf festival,
is the perfect prelude to the Two
Oceans festival.
This year it is taking place
from 6-
10 August 2015, incorporating national Women's Day.
The Hermanus Kalfiefees has been
running for 14 years and is considered the baby-sister
of the famous Hermanus Whale Festival.
It is named after the calves which are typically born around August in
Hermanus. Aside from the festivals, the southern right whales visit the
Hermanus coastline from June
to December annually
This is an Afrikaans-centred
festival with a jam-packed line up of events. The Kalfie Festival
has a very strong focus on theatre
and drama, with many of the
performers who headline at the annual Klein Karoo Kunstefees (KKNK), a popular
annual South African arts festival held in the Karoo, also perform. The annual
line up will usually include a Woman’s Day celebration, dramatic and comic
theatre, entertainment for the little ones, as well as a book show, great food
and music.
The show opens on the evening of
the 7th
of August and runs through till Sunday August
10th in afternoon. Each event
that makes up the festival is individually
priced and can be
booked at Computicket.
