Port Elizabeth welcomes summer season

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Music, dance, and the much loved fireworks display have marked the opening of the season in Port Elizabeth on Saturday night.

At least 46 events have been scheduled for the 2017 summer season calendar, which seek to promote local offerings as well as activities on the Bay’s prestigious Blue Flag Beaches.

The emphasis this summer season is on safety and delivering world-class service in all corners of the city.

The metro recorded zero incidents of death or violence on beaches and at recreational facilities in summer season 2016 and 2017.

Director of Beaches and resorts Kithi Ngesi says Port Elizabeth’s blue flag beaches make it a perfect tourist destination.

“I think Port Elizabeth is a beautiful. I think this time of the year as I said we have got beautiful beaches, we have three blue flag beaches that are taking part in the blue flag programme and as you know the blue flag programme is an international programme that speaks to water quality, safety and security.”

It has been a family affair with both young and old enjoying themselves.
