At the end of every year, we’re faced with the difficult task of figuring out how to bring in the new year.

It’s one of those party decisions that either works out great or totally blows.

There’s a simple reason for this – how we start something new is important, and New Year’s Eve is also loaded with pressure to have a good time.

It’s also one of the craziest nights to be out in town, the price of everything goes through the roof, and everyone is usually hammered.

Not exactly what I’d call good times.

That’s why so many choose to bring in the new year with a festival, where you can pitch your tent, drink as much as you want, party hard and make your merry way home the next day.

Enter Kinky Summer’s New Year’s Eve Festival, brought to you by We Love Summer and Kinky Disco.

This year’s theme is ‘Kinky Summer Goes To Sea’, and judging by this venue it’s going to be amazing:

Kinky Summer is returning to the same venue that they used for their NYE party last year: La Paris Estate in Franschhoek, Western Cape.

Check out the “aftermovie” of last year’s New Year’s party if you want to get a feel for the vibe:

Yep. Definitely good vibes.

Now that the vibe is sorted, here’s what you can expect at the festival:

• Six outdoor dance floors hosting the very best international & local sonic selectors.
• Acts and performers.

• Decor & art installations.
• A gorgeous man-made dam under the sun.

• A crystal clear five-star pool.
• A food FEAST brought to you by FEASTIVAL™.
• Over 120 metres of efficient and well-stocked bars to keep you well hydrated.
• Champagne lounge.
• Gin Mixology bar.

• Craft beer garden.
• VIP table service.
• Open air cinema.
• Hookah lounge.
• All new luxury camping options.

• Ample safe & secure parking.
• Beautiful Kinky Summer friends and family to celebrate with and usher in 2019!

This year’s lineup also looks incredible:

You’ll notice that Sol was at the last NYE party, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. The sun is at all the best parties, and this year will be no different, so you’ll be able to bring in the New Year with an ice-cold Sol.

Sol represents ‘Espiritu Libre’ – the spirit of freedom – making it the perfect companion to a celebration of things to come.

Nothing quite screams New Year’s Eve like sharing a cold one with friends and celebrating the spirit of freedom that comes with fresh starts and new beginnings.
