Otis Daniels,Olaf Mueller
The 18th edition of the annual Lüderitz Crayfish Festival (LCF), taking place from 29 April to 5 May, promises to be an unforgettable event.
As the name suggests, the festival will focus on the coveted crayfish, a delicacy that has become synonymous with the port town, its rich cultural diversity, the entrepreneurial spirit of its residents, and the unique tourism offerings of Lüderitz Bay and the entire //Kharas region.
The 2024 event was a great success, attracting approximately 5 000 visitors who were able to learn about a wide range of products and services at a total of 30 exhibition stands and 80 additional SME stands. Organisers are optimistic that attendance will be even higher this year, thanks to improved marketing efforts and the participation of more prominent exhibitors. This combination is expected to create a lively and stimulating atmosphere, fostering valuable networking opportunities within the local business community.
