Mossel Bay has prepared a jam-packed programme for visitors and locals over the festive season.
These include music, events, shows, and entertainment stretching from the beaches of the seaside town to the annual ATKV festival in Hartenbos.
The Garden Route casino also hosts the eighth annual Bravo Festival while the Barnyard will be the venue for music lovers.
Some of the artists on the bill include Chris Chameleon, Zamar, Die Heuwels Fantasties, Koos Kombuis and Elvis Blue among a host of other artists.
Activities have also been planned for all the beaches including a new sport known as Bossaball, which was invented in Spain and combines volleyball, soccer and trampoline gymnastics.
Marcia Holmes of Mossel Bay Tourism says in spite of the tough economic times, they're still expecting a bumper season.
