Most of my routes at the moment are plastered with small billboards advertising two big events for most young people, where there is an interesting clash of dates. Sun City is advertising their annual Spring Break and H2O is being advertised as taking place in Boksburg at the same time.
I cannot imagine that H2O would compete with the force and attraction of Sun City, although I am astounded that H2O is still around, having been to the first one which now seems like it was almost a century ago! I have been at Sun City during the Spring Break time before, quite by coincidence, and the one thing I did discover is that if you don’t get a parking spot by 6am in the morning, you are not going to get one! Sun City is literally filled to their seams at that time and if you are not into loud music and the Valley of the Waves with 5 000 people in it, then Sun City probably is not the place for you during that weekend! It will be interesting to see who wins the commercial battle between the two, and my money would certainly be on Sun City’s Spring Break.

I have never been to either event. I am more of the lets get together and have a braai type of person, and sit by the pool. Most people love the atmosphere, but i personally don't like the "busyness" of it all. Maybe its just my current age now, where my life has slowed down to the more comfortable "few people" social events. Some may say i'm boring, but its the lifestyle I have come to prefer after my previous years of letting loose and going crazy. But, if i had to make a choice of whether it would be Spring Break or H2O, of course Spring Break will get my vote hands down.

Im so excited for Spring Break - it only happens once a year whereas H20 theres one in March. You cannot compare the 2 because Spring Break wins hands down. H20 often has a few shady people, Springbreak has many different people from different countries even. H20 is one day and Spring break the entire weekend. You cant go to spring break for the day, you have to stay in suncity to experience the full experience! Besides if things get a little out of hand you can always go back to your hotel freshen up, have a nap etc. I must say however Im glad H20 and Spring break is on the same weekend aswell as Pride and Sexpo because it just saves all of us suckers out there a whole bunch of money!! Spring break is going to be EPIC!

I have been going to Sun City Springbreak every year for the past 4 years and I must say my friends and I we really enjoy the fun and atmosphere of young adults just having a blast :) I agree with the parking, it is an issue if you are not in the parking queue by 6:00am. I remember last year we left my place at 5:00am and we had to sit in the queue for almost half an hour!
