This Cape Town Signature Event is proudly hosted by the Fun Ball Initiative Association & Camel Rock Entertainment, as a community-based developmental partnership – under a joint venture agreement.

The event aims to promote art & culture, prosperity, inclusivity, cultural diversity, tolerance and unity; by including strong components of Social Awareness and Social Responsibility – including an amazing entertainment line-up.

The event aims at raising both funds and awareness, for the ongoing development of a Multipurpose Sporting Venue currently underway on Muizenberg Beach.  The project known as the FUN BALL INITITIATIVE – which takes place on weekends and all school holidays – has hosted more than 2000 Beach Soccer participants to date.

Most of the festivities will be held on the beach area located between the estuary and the blue flag beach area of the Muizenberg Pavilion. We welcome all visual and performing artists, craft traders, career & skills development, youth & social development organizations, NGO’s, civic and community initiatives,  academic and tertiary institutions, local and regional government agencies, as well as businesses – to join & engage learners and festival goers.

We welcome your participation to the Beach Sport Spectacular and look forward to hosting you in magical Muizenberg, for March 2010 & beyond....
