Port Alfred is building momentum ahead of Easter weekend from 3 to 6 April 2026, with the Port Alfred Easter Festival continuing to broaden its programme across sport, lifestyle and community events.
Anchored by elite junior and QS-level surfing at East Beach, the festival has evolved into a multi-day, multi-venue showcase that activates the town from the shoreline to the greens and into the streets.

Edge Pro Ten Easter Bowls Tournament
Port Alfred parkrun
Saturday morning begins with the free 5km Port Alfred parkrun. Open to walkers and runners of all ages and fitness levels, the event offers an accessible and community-driven start to the day before the broader festival programme unfolds.
Further event announcements will follow in the coming weeks as the 2026 programme continues to take shape. Together, the expanding line-up positions Port Alfred as one of the Eastern Cape’s premier Easter destinations.
