Events in George

George is the hub of the Garden Route, with forest, mountain and sea within a short drive. Weddings at Herolds Bay, Wilderness and Victoria Bay mix beach, lagoon and forest settings, and guest farms and country estates around Blanco and the Outeniqua foothills suit smaller, relaxed celebrations. Holiday-season visitors drive demand from December to Easter, and conferences and team days fill hotels and golf estates in the quieter months. Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu hold community and church events. The coast has mild, changeable weather and rain at any time of year, so a roof or sidewalls are wise. Planners and hire companies work from George and Mossel Bay.
