Events in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape spans coastal events in Gqeberha, East London, Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred to inland Karoo farms, Makhanda's festival calendar and the rural heartland around Mthatha. Weddings are held on beaches, farms and in gardens, and traditional ceremonies, funerals and large community gatherings take place at family homesteads and halls. Gqeberha and East London book corporate functions, conferences and school events, and Makhanda hosts its national arts festival each winter. The coast is windy, humid and changeable, while the Karoo is hot by day and cold at night. Planners and hire companies work mainly from Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha.
