It marks the culmination of this year’s Durban Fun Season.
The idea is to taste a variety of speciality delights by visiting each of the participating nodes at which respected chefs, culinary experts and speciality foodies will be preparing a variety of delicious Durban dishes. Each node will offer al-fresco dining experiences, on-site entertainment, live music and a comfortable opportunity to soak up the wonderful and crisp winter weather.
Performing at uShaka Marine World on Saturday will be DJ Dakin Auret and Coco Locco followed by the popular local eight piece reggae outfit, the Meditators, on Sunday.
Sunday will have a distinctly rasta and reggae theme at uShaka Flavours node with The Meditators, guest bands and DJs, including The Rasta Rhythms, Ras Lovi, Follow Jah as well as guest artists Kianja and Poppy Seed from the UK. Also performing will be Caribbean Connection – a group of seven talented musicians with a marimba, a brass band and a steel drum repertoire. There will also be a rasta-themed flea market.
Flavours of Durban takes place at the three venues – Suncoast, Amphitheatre area North Beach and uShaka on June 30 and July 1 from noon until 18h00 daily.
The organisers are grateful to the Durban Chamber of Commerce and also to Durban Tourism, the eThekwini Municipality and Tourism KwaZulu-Natal. More information on 031 312 1281 o/h.
