Events in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has an events scene built around the coast and the hills, with beach and estate weddings in Umhlanga, Ballito and the South Coast, hotel and conference events at the Durban ICC, and garden and country venues along the Midlands Meander near Howick and Hilton. Corporate functions, school events, traditional ceremonies, church gatherings and large community celebrations fill the calendar, and Durban hosts festivals and sporting events. Summers are hot and humid with heavy afternoon storms, and winters are mild and dry. Planners and hire companies work from Durban, Umhlanga, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands, and travel up and down the coast.
