Durban Flavours Live is the first edition of a proudly Durban music, artisanal food, and community experience event, headlined by legendary South African musician Ernie Smith, scheduled for 24 October 2026 at Beachwood Country Club (also referred to as Beachwood Golf Course / County Club) in Durban North.
It is organised by the Flojo Butterfly Foundation NPC. The event aims to create real, paid opportunities for local artists, entrepreneurs, and event workers. It features Ernie Smith (known for jazz, Afro-soul, and related styles) plus a host of confirmed and upcoming local artists. The focus combines live music with artisanal food and a community-oriented atmosphere.
