The coastal town of Margate will once again play host to Africa’s premier motorcycle enthusiast and music festival, the South Coast Bike Fest. This popular annual event – presented by Ugu South Coast Tourism with endorsement and support from Ray Nkonyeni Municipality and Ugu District – will take place on the Margate Beach promenade from 26 to 28 April.
“The 2019 bike fest is set to be bigger and better than previous years, with a full programme line-up that includes great music, incredible stunts, extreme sports, food and drinks,” said event organiser Vicky Wentzel. “All the action will take place along the palm-fringed beachfront boulevard, and we’ve ensured a really diverse festival programme that caters to all tastes.”
Visitors can look forward to, among other things:
- Entertainment on the main beach stage and village pier rock stage
- Six beachfront boulevard-themed bars
- Street busking entertainment
- Demo rides
- Village market and expo zones
- Stunt shows
- Food courts
- EnduroX staging arenas
- On-site restaurants and pubs
