If conditions on Sunday are unfavourable, the competition will be rescheduled for Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the fishing competition, the carnival will include live entertainment, children\u2019s activities, food and craft stalls, a Seafood Potjiekos Competition, fun fair rides, and boat rides. \u201cThis event is built on the legacy of past fishing derbies and aims to celebrate the local fishing community and culture,\u201d said Roscoe Jacobs, chair of HBHC&amp;FD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-thousands\">Thousands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The carnival is expected to draw between 3 000 and 5 000 visitors. The event has historical significance for Hout Bay, as the Snoek Derby was once a prominent feature of the local sporting calendar. The new Fish Derby, organised in partnership with the Atlantic Boat Club, aims to maintain this tradition while attracting fishing enthusiasts from across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacobs noted that the event will also feature a raffle with prizes, including a night\u2019s stay at Tintswalo Atlantic and various vouchers. Proceeds from ticket sales and the raffle will help cover the costs associated with hosting the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organisers aim to showcase Hout Bay as a destination for tourism and business, highlighting its fishing heritage and community spirit. Long-term plans for the event include promoting socio-economic initiatives aimed at supporting children, youth, women and people with disabilities in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For more information or to participate in the Fish Derby, interested individuals can contact HBHC&amp;FD via email at fishderby@hbhcfd.co.za or WhatsApp at 072 582 9183.
