30 Jun 2021

The Knysna Oyster Festival Committee has announced that the 2021 instalment will be presented in a 'limited edition' format, fully compliant with the current Level 4 restrictions.

“The safety of our visitors and locals involved in the programme is of utmost importance to us,” said Colleen Durant, Visit Knysna general manager. "In support of the president’s announcement on Sunday, we’ve reimagined the experiences whilst allowing for the flexibility to add further activations in the future, should the regulations lift in the next few weeks.”
