Much of what is listed in Bela-Bela comes from its resorts and Afrikaans community life. ATKV Klein-Kariba and Warmbaths A Forever Resort are the main resort venues, the latter home to the SA Camp Festival, while Hoërskool Warmbad and local churches run gospel events, street markets and car boot sales. Student parties, a fly-in airshow and mountain bike events add variety. Spring is the busiest time, with September the peak month.
