Even with its laid-back lifestyle, Kenton is still home to memorable events throughout the year. Summer brings a vibrant holiday buzz, along with the beloved Seagull Regatta and Anything That Floats on the Bushman’s River. As the season winds down in March, the Kenton Wine Festival is a must for local flavours.

Year-round, you’ll find live music at local pubs and restaurants, and standout events like the Rhino Run trail race or historic Pineapple Cricket Tournament in nearby Port Alfred. Art and culture fans can also take a short drive to Makhanda (Grahamstown) for the world-famous National Arts Festival. No matter when you visit, you’re likely to stumble upon something special.
