Along with a number of individual performers, 48 community groups from across the city make up the Cape Town Carnival parade. Spectators can look forward to Masiphumelele drummers, the Western Province Marching Band, spectacular floats and vibrant costumes, making it a not-to-be-missed celebration of South African culture.

The Fan Walk will be closed to vehicle traffic in the afternoon so that spectators can safely enjoy pre-event activities. The two carnival villages open at 2.30pm along with food vendors and bars. The pre-parade, hosting Cape Town’s heroic firefighters, kicks off at 6pm followed by the main parade at 7pm.
Entrance to the Fan Walk is free. Image: Cape Town Carnival
Entry to the event is free, but tickets will be available for seats in the stands along the parade route. VIP tickets are also available, and include an exclusive hospitality area on a raised viewing platform, finger foods, a bar (selling selected beers, soft drinks and wine) and security.
