With love on the calendar’s cards and the sun bringing about all of the fun and seaside frolics, February is Cape Town’s most vibrant time of the year.
Upcoming events to look forward to…
- The annual Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts have had us dancing barefoot beneath the mountain, every sunny Sunday evening. With summer being on her best behaviour – aside from the odd gust of the south-easter wind, Kirstenbosch is the perfect place to spend a balmy evening, listening to music in the open air – Kirstenbosh Botanical Gardens.
- Maynardville Romeo & Juliet – William Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece presented at an open-air festival. Something lovely for the whole family to enjoy, doused in theatre, surrounded by nature. Maynardville Park, Cape Town running until the 24th of February.
- An evening with Eckhart Tolle – For a motivational sitting with the great philosopher, gracing Cape Town with is extraordinary presence, why not venture to GrandWest Arena on the 4th February.
- Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2024 – Africa’s largest art fair exhibiting a diverse group of renowned artists from around the world, all under the roof of Cape Town’s International Convention Centre (CTICC) from the 16th until the 18th of February 2024.
- The life and work of world-famous Ndebele artist Esther Mahlangu – Running from the 17th of February at the Iziko South African National Gallery, a swift walk through Cape Town’s Company Gardens, a few minutes from Labotessa’s doors.
- A reminder about the summer markets…there’s nothing that sings summertime louder than Cape Town’s marketplaces that are humming with happy people. All feasting and sipping, sourcing and sampling the food, art and craft, whilst listening to live music. The Oranjezicht City Farmers Market at the V&A Waterfront. The Old Biscuit Mill Neighbourgoods Market in Woodstock. Mojo Market in Sea Point. The new Time Out market at the V&A Waterfront that has a smorgasbord of fancy feasting stalls, all under one roof. There is also weekly Jazz Wednesdays in the evenings.
