The Big Splash Bash takes place at Cape St Francis Resort on 13 and 14 June 2026, bringing together residents and visitors for a lively winter event that embraces everything people love about the St Francis coastline.
A Weekend by the Ocean
Presented by St Francis Tourism, the Big Splash Bash celebrates the arrival of the region’s annual whale visitors while showcasing the natural beauty, outdoor lifestyle and coastal character that make St Francis Bay a favourite destination throughout the year.
The event promises a relaxed atmosphere filled with ocean-themed activities, local flavours and experiences inspired by life on the coast.
In addition, organisers are encouraging families, friends and visitors to gather for a memorable winter weekend beside the sea.
Celebrating Whale Season
Each year, whales return to the Eastern Cape coastline, creating one of nature’s most spectacular seasonal displays.
The Big Splash Bash provides an opportunity to celebrate that annual migration while highlighting the area’s connection to the ocean and the many activities available along the coast.
