From the 14 th to the 16 th of March you can experience the SA Navy free of charge! During the SA Navy Festival, more than 100 000 people from all over South Africa go to see what the SA Navy is all about.

Some of the things that you will be able to see at the SA Navy week:

• Flea markets
• The Navy Band Drydock concert
• The Freedom of Entry Parade through the streets of Simon’s Town on Saturday morning at 10:00.
• The Navy Choir will be performing at the Simonsberg Cinema Hall on Saturday evening

During the SA Navy festival, gates open at ten in the morning and close at six in the evening every day.

Where can you find parking at the SA Navy week:

• Martello Tower Gate
• Cole Point Gate
• Simon’s Town School

When you come to the SA Navy week, why not see what else the area has to offer? Instead of spending all three days at the SA Navy week you and the family can take a look at the Great White Sharks breaching in False Bay? This area is home to the “flying” great white sharks(which refers to the action of the sharks jumping out of the water to catch their prey) and this behavior can be seen nowhere else on earth on such a regular basis! Come and experience Simonstown to the max during SA Navy Week!
