Schweppes Durban Gin Festival 2026
Gin lovers are in for a treat at this year's Schweppes Durban Gin Festival.
The Schweppes Durban Gin Festival is back for another exciting social event. Gin enthusiasts will be treated to a variety of gins to sample, along with entertainment for guests aged 18 and older.
This is the perfect outing to enjoy with your partner, your friends, or even solo - depending on how thirsty you’re feeling!
What's cool about the event is that it's not only about gin. The festival will feature live performances by MTV Award Winning Artist, Kyle Deutsch, and record producer, DJ and songwriter, Sketchy Bongo, amongst others.
The event will also have a selection of food stalls, so you won’t have to worry about lunch or dinner.
It starts in the afternoon and runs until around 10pm, giving attendees a full day of fun, socialising, and enjoying some of Africa’s finest gins.
Attendees are also welcome to bring camp chairs and picnic blankets, making for a relaxed festival atmosphere.
What’s even better? Your ticket includes a complimentary gin cocktail on arrival.
Why attend a gin festival?
Not only do you get to sample a wide variety of gins, but it’s also an opportunity to meet some of the people behind the brands, expand your palate, network, and simply have a great time.
With live entertainment adding to the experience, it’s the perfect excuse to beat the winter chill with good music, great company, and delicious drinks.
So, Durban, if you’re looking for your next social outing where you can sip, relax, and be merry, this festival might just be the place to be.
