WATCH A SUNSET CONCERT THIS EASTER
South African music legends Mango Groove are performing in Hermanus this Easter Saturday. The 11-piece Afropop band’s music fuses pop and township music. You’ll hear major hits like Special Star and Moments Away, and some of their more recent music.
This is a picnic-style concert, so bring a blanket and a picnic basket. Kids under six get in for free. Note: There are no designated smoking areas and no refunds will be issued. Gates to the concert area open at 3pm.

IT’S SUPPORTING A GOOD CAUSE
All proceeds are in aid of Yomelelani ECDC, the crèche and pre-school in Zwelihle, the local township of Hermanus. Currently 80% of the children enrolled are orphans with guardians, or are from single-parent households or teenage mothers. The school's aim is to create a positive learning environment and to provide essential childcare.
GET TO THE VENUE EASILY
The location is a great one, too. Tucked between mountains and forests, just a 5 minute drive from Hermanus city centre is Curro School. En route you should spot popular neighbours like Hermanuspietersfontein Wines and Hemel-en-Aarde Brewery. There’s outdoor parking available on site.
Note: Easter weekend in Hermanus is peak traffic time, make sure to leave early enough from wherever you’re travelling. Here’s the map location for easy driving.
OUR EASTER HOTLIST FOR HERMANUS
In between all the festivities, it’s worth exploring more of what Hermanus has to offer.
- Carved into the cliffs on the ocean is Ficks Restaurant – a cocktail mecca and sundowner haven (plus, you can swim in the tidal pool)
