ENTERTAINMENT NEWS | KNYSNA NEWS - With an open theme at play for the 2021 event, the Knysna Oyster Festival is set to barrel ahead at full steam in early July as a hybrid incorporating physical and virtual elements.
The decision follows on the success of the first Virtual Knysna Oyster Festival last year.
The theme is "Knysna is open - and for business" and the sentiment behind this is "instead of working from home, wherever you live, you can work from Knysna for the full 10 days of the Knysna Oyster Festival".
Internet connectivity in Knysna is more than good enough and while you work, you and your family can enjoy a mid-year break, the perfect setting for a digital nomad.
To attract such individuals and cater for as many people as possible, the 2021 Oyster Fest will be a hybrid event, but this comes with its own challenges.
"With the unknown state of the coronavirus situation at any time, we anticipate that the actual events will be niche and with limited entries: this to be able to align within the accepted norms of any level that could be called by government," the organisers said in a press release issued last week.
