Namibia: This year Walvis Bay "Fishtival" is in April

This year's Walvis Bay Fishtival event will take place on 4 and 5 April at the Jan Wilken Stadium.

The Fishtival was previously known as the Fish Festival, and was first held in 2012. The organisers promised that this year's event will have much more to offer and will be different in comparison to the first event. The aim of the event is to promote the fishing industry and to support and develop young enterprises in the industry. It also provides a platform for businesses to link.“The fishing industry is the backbone of our beautiful town. We should therefore celebrate the contributions from the thriving industry in unison, and keep supporting it for it to keep on thriving,” said Mayor Uilika Nambahu at a press conference about the event.

The Walvis Bay Indoor Sport Complex will house 53 stalls with the focus on exhibiting products and services. There will be 10 outdoor food stalls on the rugby field with live entertainment, a playing area and activities for kids, a cultural area and also a restaurant. This year's event will be strictly about fish and seafood and will offer various products to consume. For those who are allergic to seafood there will be a chicken and meat stall.
