In general, Africa has always been a destination for the soul. Despite bumps on the road, Africans always knew how to celebrate life. And nowhere else does this reflect on other than Cape Town.
For the Sports Fanatics
The Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour
This bike tour puts Cape Town on the cycling map. This annual tour is held every March and attracts locals and even foreigners. It is such a celebrated event that individuals, groups, and even families camp along the route to support the cyclists until they reach the finish line.
And the fun does not stop there, the Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour ends with a celebration accompanied by food, wine, and entertainment. Due to the popularity of the event, most of the Cape Town hotels are fully booked by March so early booking is always advised.
The Two Oceans Marathon
This 56-kilometer marathon is also another much-celebrated annual sports event in Cape Town. Its humble beginnings started in 1970 for the sole purpose of training Cape Town runners for the Comrades Marathon until it blossomed into the annually commemorated event that it is today.
For the Musically Inclined
North Sea Jazz Festival
Cape Town loves music. You can see it everywhere, from the locals’ smiles to the exhilarating atmosphere the city gives off. The local music ranges from dancehall music, reggae, R&B, hip-hop, and Jazz. One of its festivals, the North Sea Jazz Festival is held every March in the city’s center. Jazz artists from all over the world partake in the festival that is why it has become rather the tourist attraction.
For the Nature Lovers
Hermanus Whale Festival
This festival runs throughout the last week of September, and it celebrates the return of the whales to Walker Bay in the town of Hermanus, a one-hour drive from the Cape Town proper. A favorite amongst environmentalists, this festival has evolved from a celebration of the whales’ return to the bay to a celebration of people, music, and good food.
For the Food and Wine Connoisseurs
Good Food and Wine Show
Held in the Cape Town International Convention Centre, this most celebrated event is held every May of every year. A fête of gastronomic proportions, this show serves as the venue for everyone from South Africa to come together in one show to beat all shows.
Local to international wineries, cocktail makers, foodies, and chefs converge and strut their stuff. During exhibitions, demos, workshops, and even competitions, the show goers will never get bored-especially with the food and wine tasting.
Events All Year Round
Who would have thought that Cape Town, which was once a mere stopover for Dutch ships, would turn into one of Africa’s most loved tourist destinations? Through years of social and cultural evolution, this city has become a concoction of surprises, historical values, and inexhaustible pleasure.
Whatever festival, activity, or show you prefer, Cape Town will always be the it destination in Southern Africa. With the right planning and appropriate budget, your stay will always be one that will always be remembered from the Cape Town accommodation, beaches, to its festivities and enjoyable events.
When in South Africa, never miss to try out the incomparable Cape Town accommodation–quality customer service plus world-class comfort and convenience.
