SOUTH AFRICA – The striking graffiti artwork displayed on a billboard along Sandton Drive signals the launch of this year’s Hollywoodbets Durban July theme, “Ride the Wave”.
Commissioned by South Africa’s acclaimed graffiti artist Shaun “Damn Vandal” Oakley, the impressive billboard undeniably encapsulates the essence of the event. Carefully crafted to ignite imagination and inspire, it weaves together the elements of horseracing, fashion, and entertainment.
” What initially seemed like an act of mischief turned out to be a breathtaking artistic statement by the Durban-born artist,” stated Hollywoodbets.
The Hollywoodbets Durban July is set to occur on Saturday, 6 July 2024, at the Hollywoodbets Greyville racecourse.
Stephen Marshall, Gold Circle’s events and marketing executive, expressed, “Sound, greetings, emotion, and change, these are the waves of the 2024 Hollywoodbets Durban July. From the music to the thundering hooves, the celebrations with friends old and new, the thrill of horseracing, and the social spectacle all add to an experience that has evolved over time.”
Devin Heffer, Hollywoodbets’ brand and communications manager, affirmed their pride in partnering with Africa’s greatest horse racing event once again. “We believe the coastal city of Durban with its gorgeous Golden Mile will provide the ideal backdrop for this year’s theme of ‘Ride The Wave’,” he said.
“The cultural waves generated by the event’s fashion and entertainment, along with the seismic enormity of the thoroughbred competition on the track, will make this year’s edition one to remember. Save the date now for the 6th of July as we converge on Hollywoodbets Greyville for a day that will send shock waves around the country.”
Tickets will be available for purchase starting this month, April, on the Ticketpro website.
