Dias Festival 2017 (1) - Flag jumps

Flag Jumps

"The Portuguese explorer Bartholomeu Dias headed an expedition to sail around the southern tip of Africa in the hope of finding a trade route to India.  Dias and his fleet eventually entered what he named Aguada de São Brás (Bay of Saint Blaise) - later renamed Mossel Bay after the abundance of mussels in the bay - on 3 February 1488. His landing will again be celebrated this year with the 2017 Dias Festival from 2 February 2017 to 5 February 2017."
