Come Cold and Rain, the show did go on!


The 2012 Castle Lager East Cape Biltong Festival had its Media Launch on the 4th of May 2012, heralding the event which took place last weekend. The 22nd installment of the Festival kicked off with a bang with the annual Castle Lager East Cape Biltong Festival cocktail evening setting the tone for the festivities of the weekend on Thursday, 12 July 2012. 





Forecasts of bad weather in the Cacadu region did, however, dampen festivalgoers’ fervour to enjoy the 22nd installment of the event with close to 7000 people attending this year. The performances from both the local BCRM talent as well as the national artists that formed part of the line up for this year’s festival did get the festivities back on track with brilliant performances from Elvis Blue and Professor on day one of the Festival.















On day two of the Festival however the bad weather did prevent some of the big names such as Zahara, Emo Adams and Jamali from being able to perform on the big stage of the Castle Lager gig rig. They did however give the audience a taste of what their performances would have been if not for the weather in the Castle Lager beer tent. This was appreciated by young and old and many expressed the hope that the artists would return to the festival as many were looking forward to their performances. All in all, it was another successful year for the Castle Lager East Cape Biltong Festival. We can’t wait to see what next year has in store.
