The Knysna Oyster Festival 2021
For those who have never attended the Knysna Oyster festival in all the years, it’s a yearly event and Knysna and the surroundings come alive with visitors, nature lovers and people wanting a sense of adventure we would like to share some of its history.
The Knysna Oyster Festival has been running since 1983 and used to be called the Knysna winter festival in previous years. This festival falls over 10 days. With the way the world rapidly changed over the past year, it is really great for us to return to some kind of normality and see the positives in the new normal.
People can now come to stay in our area for the full 10 days of the Knysna Oyster Festival. Working remotely has become an integral part of our everyday lives now. Forest Edge does offer WIFI to assist people with making their stay and play visit a breeze so you can be connected while disconnecting from the world for the rest of your stay in nature.
