There will be a feast of children\u2019s activities for the duration of the Kouga Easter Festival and the young ones must make sure not to miss the Easter Bunny or his superhero friends.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

IS it a bird? Is it a plane? <\/p>\n

No!<\/p>\n

It is the Easter Bunny with his superhero squad: Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man, Elsa and Anna. <\/p>\n

And they are all geared up to keep residents and holidaymakers entertained at the first Kouga Easter Festival this weekend.<\/p>\n

The fun-filled carnival will kick-off today, April 1, and come to a close on Monday, April 5 \u2013 with the bulk of the action taking place at Dolphin Beach in Jeffreys Bay.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe programme includes the action-packed Je\u2019Vista One Touch Rugby Tournament \u2013 one of the biggest highlights on the sports calendar,\u201d said Kouga Executive Mayor, Horatio Hendricks. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe tournament will see 20 teams of eight players each taking to the field \u2013 or rather beach.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tournament will take place on both Friday and Saturday. <\/p>\n

\u201cSoccer fans are also in for a treat, with the JBay Easter Soccer Tournament taking place at the Tokyo Sexwale Sports Stadium, Pellsrus Sports Field and Jeffreys Bay Comprehensive High School,\u201d said Hendricks.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn open water swim competition, the Marina Mile, will be added to the sports mix at Marina Martinique on Saturday, April 3.\u201d<\/p>\n

Registration is at 08:00, followed by the Double Mile (two laps) at 09:00 \u2013 kicking off the swimming event.<\/p>\n

The Half Mile will take to the water at 10:30, while the Bank-to-Bank race will splash off at 11:00. There is also a Bank-to-Bank swim for boys and girls under the age of six, at 11:15, and a Bank-to-Bank swim for boys and girls under the age of eight, at 11:20. A Bank-to-Bank swim for children, under the age of 10, will take place at 11:30. <\/p>\n

Also on the swimming programme is the Marina Mile for men at 12:00 and the Marina Mile for ladies at 12:10.<\/p>\n

According to Hendricks, there will be a feast of children\u2019s activities for the duration of the carnival, which young ones will be able to enjoy for free on the Saturday.<\/p>\n

Children can build their own sandcastle or paint an Easter egg. They can furthermore enjoy a magician and puppet show, show their strength at a tug of war competition, COVID-19 style or hunt for delicious Easter eggs and hidden treasures.<\/p>\n

They must make sure not to miss the Easter Bunny or his superhero friends Superman, Spiderman, and Iron Man. Elsa and Anna, from Frozen,<\/span> will also be at the carnival. <\/p>\n

Competitions for young and old include an ice-cream eating competition, a big boep competition and a junior comedian competition, as well as a hula-hoop competition.<\/p>\n

Also on the competition line-up are the mother and daughter lookalike competition, the best hat of the day competition and a talent contest.<\/p>\n

There will also be various food stalls.<\/p>\n

The festival will end with a special beach church service on the Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to COVID-19, no spectators will be allowed at any of the sporting events,\u201d said Hendricks. <\/p>\n

\u201cKouga Municipality disaster volunteers will also be on duty to ensure that festival-goers adhere to COVID-19 regulations for the duration of the carnival. Further regulations that will be in place, include free masks, free sanitiser, contact free entertainment, social distancing markers and COVID-19 posters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
