Jack Daniels Boomtown 2017

For many, Winter signals the time where people would rather be indoors, snuggled up under a blanket and binge watching TV, mainly because of the cold weather, fortunately for us on the East Coast of South Africa, we need not go to such drastic measures as the weather God's have blessed us with a Winter that is far from hibernation standard. Hence making Durban the ideal party destination for everyone, and with this in mind there is no bigger party than the Vodacom Durban July, which is held annually on the first Saturday of July. Africa's biggest horse racing event just grows in statue and prestige every year, with the crowds increasing as the years go by, organisers pull out all the stops to ensure the event is not only a successful one but better than the last.

In its 9th year at the Races, BoomTown together with Jack Daniel's and powered by VUZU AMP promises to be the finest lifestyle marquee at Africa's biggest horse racing event.

It also features front line views of the racetrack for as close as possible racing action. The fashion, hospitality and urban lifestyle experienced at BoomTown is unrivaled and it's one of the key reasons why people keep coming back year after year.
