2025 Diaz Summer Splash Notice

The organisers of the Diaz Summer Splash Festival confirm that the event scheduled for December 2025 will not proceed.

This outcome follows an extensive review of operational requirements, including event duration, noise management, and compliance with municipal parameters for the festive season period. After consultations with the Mossel Bay Municipality and relevant stakeholders, a suitable time window that aligned with these parameters could not be confirmed for 2025.

The festival has historically contributed to the local economy and seasonal vibrancy. The 2024 edition was estimated to generate approximately R21.4 million in direct economic impact to Mossel Bay and created opportunities for local artists, traders, service providers, and seasonal staff.

Beyond its economic role, Diaz Summer Splash has provided a multi-day, family-friendly entertainment experience for residents and visitors over the holiday period.
As organisers and members of the Mossel Bay community, we share the disappointment that the 2025 edition will not take place. We remain committed to exploring future opportunities that celebrate local talent, support small businesses, and bring people together.

We sincerely thank all artists, vendors, partners, staff, and festivalgoers for their ongoing support and understanding.
