See the new year in under the stars, on the beach!
Make this New Year’s Eve party an unforgettable one on KZN’s South Coast on December 31 and see in 2023 on Ramsgate’s Main Beach with a fabulous al-fresco beach party under the African night sky.
“This year we make our move to the beautiful Ramsgate Blue Flag Beach offering a huge open air dance floor as well as chill out beach zones on Ramsgate Main Beach,” said organizer Vicky Wentzel of Wozani Africa Events.
The line-up of performers and DJs this year includes Matthew Mole – SAMA winner, Cape Town-based singer, songwriter; Yale – DJ/ producer from Durban favouring deep tech and melodic techno grooves; Luke Lambert – DJ/ producer is back by popular demand; M.Y.K – rapper, singer, songwriter; Karlem – deep house/deep tech DJ from the club scene in Pretoria, and Durban based boy Jethro AKA J.Schultz.
“Our New Year’s Eve Beach Parties have quickly become one of SA’s largest and biggest New Year’s Eve celebrations. With people coming from far and wide to gather in our bustling seaside villages, there is no better place to be on 31 December. Join us on a magical journey through time and music, highlighting the very best of what 2022 had to offer and what we can only imagine the future to hold,” continued Wentzel.
There are family friendly access options – under 12’s accompanied by parents are allowed in at no cost, but no under 12’s are allowed on main dance floor. Families wanting to bring in picnic blankets, deck chairs and food baskets to be used on main beach only are welcome – please no liquid refreshments allowed.
Entry options are – general access which allows for a huge open air dance floor; 15m general bar serving area; a champagne bar; a shooter bar; food stalls; serviced bathroom facilities; and a medic tent and on-site security. VIP access entitles ticket holders to VIP beach lounge cocktail chill areas, a bottle service and fast track bar orders.
For the past 20 years they have been ringing in the New Year on Southbroom Beach. This year, the iconic event has moved to its new venue – Ramgsate Main Beach.
“When so much of the province’s coastline is battling with contaminated water, we are delighted that the South Coast still offers pristine Blue Flag quality water,” said Wentzel.
