Durban July 2012 date confirmed! 7 July 2012

Durban July Fever

The Durban July weekend is an institution in South Africa and the aura and Social Status at "being seen" at one of the hospitality venues or walking around at the event continues to grow every year.

It is known as "July Fever". The build up starts a few months before the event. The Durban July is usually held on the first weekend of July on the Saturday and builds to a crescendo that only reaches it's peak at the after-parties late into the night long after the race is done. Some would say the Durban July has very little do with Horse racing. It''s all about fashion and parties. There are obviously even more that would disagree especially the owners of South Africa’s best thoroughbreds.
