Chintsa East & West, Eastern Cape

One coastline. One epic migration. One unforgettable festival.

The Chintsa Sardine Festival is back — and it’s bigger than ever! Join us for 10 days of celebration as we honour one of nature’s most spectacular events: the annual sardine run that passes our shores every winter.

From marine education talks and art exhibitions to trail runs, live music, eco-activities, and a buzzing Saturday street festival, there’s something for everyone — whether you’re a local, a visitor, a foodie, an adventurer, or just here for the vibe.
