Join the fun at Just Nuisance day in Simon's Town

The annual Just Nuisance Day has long been an institution on the Simon’s Town social calendar, and this year, it will take place on Saturday March 29.

Registration opens at 9.30am at Long Beach Simon's Town, and the approximately 1.1-kilometre walk to Jubilee Square will start at 10am.

The parade will be led by the Nelson Mandela Artillery Pipes and Drums. Entry is R50 per dog, and all proceeds will go to The Emma Animal Rescue Society (TEARS).

This annual event is named after Just Nuisance, the giant Great Dane with a larger-than-life personality and the first dog ever to be officially enlisted in the Royal Navy.

Jean Doyle, one of South Africa’s leading sculptors and the sculptor of the Just Nuisance statue in Jubilee Square, will be the guest of honour at the event.
