Events in Gqeberha
Gqeberha is the Friendly City, and its events lean on the bay: beachfront weddings at Summerstrand and Humewood, conferences at hotels and the Boardwalk area, and garden and guest-farm venues around Walmer and Theescombe. Wind is the defining feature, with the famous south-westers and berg winds testing every marquee, so wind-rated structures and proper pegging or weights are non-negotiable.

Planners and hire companies are based in Newton Park, Sydenham and Korsten and deliver across the metro and to Kariega.
