What Is the Durban July?

The Durban July, which has been an existence since 1897, has been a fully integrated culture of horse racing, ultra modern fashion, and one of the most spectacular events in Africa. The horse racing event's spotlight has been on the legendary Greyville Racecourse for the past century and counting. So much so, that the draw this event has is often called the July Fever. The Fever builds steadily from April until the event which is the First Saturday of July, where the city of Durban collectively 'loses it'.
