Preparations for the seventh Lüderitz Crayfish Festival are in full swing and N$230 000 in pledges were received during a recent fundraising dinner.
The festival will take place from April 30 to May 5 at the Lüderitz Waterfront.
According to a statement, a much bigger exhibition venue will see an increase in exhibitors, including corporates, smaller businesses and others.
There are a number of activities lined up that will add value to the festival and also attract more visitors than in previous years.
The festival, which began in 2008 with only 23 exhibitors, last year attracted 122 exhibitors and up to 7 000 visitors.
The aim of the festival is to create a platform for SMEs to showcase their products and different services they offer and for the private and public sectors to interact with their consumers, while introducing services, products and positioning their brands.
During the official launch of the festival, which also served as a fundraising gala dinner on April 4, the Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Chief Samuel Ankama, said is important for businesspeople to invest in the festival. This was especially if they benefited from the natural resources of the town, including through fishing quotas.
The gala dinner was attended by various senior government officials and business personalities.
The event will kick off with a business conference, which will see different presenters sharing information on how best Lüderitz can be taken forward.
This conference will take place on April 30.
