A great Easter it is….. which is why that sugar rush from eating too many Lindt Easter bunnies is so needed, to keep up with the celebrations and parties this Easter.

We created a short overview of things to do this Easter Weekend;

The underground Jack Mantis Band plays in Zula bar on Long Street on 19 March - a great start to the Easter long weekend!

Easter will start properly with the first Warehouse Project taking place on Thursday 20 March and promising to absolutely rock Cape Town.

Good Friday is also used by Balkanology to throw another legendary Balkanology party on Thursday 20 March.

Same Thursday Club Bambu is hosting a Thumping Charity Party "Assistance"; An excellent line-up of DJ's in Cape Town will be laying it down: DJ Shannon, Gren Forte, Dean FUEL, LilPhil, Mpumi "the mamba", Vanessa Holliday Proceeds of this great initiative will go to the UBUNTU Aids orphanage in Khayelitsha.

This Friday in the Company's Gardens, Cape Town Festival's Human Rights Day Concert will feature the Soweto Gospel Choir, a must see!

Also kicking off in the Easter Weekend is the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunsefees taking place in Grahamstown.

22 March marks the extreme runners taking on the elements in the Two Ocean Marathon, we gave you some hints on the best viewing spots and the lay- down on the adults and kiddies events.
