Cape Town Events Calendar
What’s on in Cape Town. A collation of any festivals and events in and around Cape Town that have made it on to the Mother City Living radar – usually with an emphasis on things organic, food and wine or outdoor expeditions. This isn’t a gig guide – it’s more of a good living guide, or something along those lines…
Looking for markets? Visit our Cape Town Market Calendar - we’ve listed them separately there (so many!)
Listing an event on the calendar is free so if you have an event you’d like listed, you’re welcome to submit it here. Give us some details and if it fits with the ethos of MCL (eg green-, slow-, food-related), it’ll be added to the calendar. Advertising options are also available, if you would prefer added exposure.
