Umhlanga Summer Carnival in Umhlanga

The end-of-year holidays is all about relaxing family time. This year, the Umhlanga Summer Carnival features a line-up with 14 days of fun-filled beach events designed to encourage outdoor activities for young and old.

The two week long carnival kicks off with the Lizzard Summer Surf Session organized by the KZN Surfing Association that takes place from the 10 – 12 December with well known local surfers all vying for the title and prize cheque. The amateur division welcomes young, old, accomplished and social surfers all to participate. Adding to the action of the event is the radical ‘Hooters Air Show’ where the surfer that lands the best aerial walks away with R5,000.

For the more active and adventurous, the public is welcome to participate in the Umhlanga Summer Carnival 16km Trail Run on 19 December - a first of its kind in Durban. Have your trainers on and be geared up to trail through the Umhlanga coastal area for an invigorating sunrise outing starting at 6am from Breakers Resort. Entry forms are available from Umhlanga Tourism.
