99 minutes away from Cape Town, the Robertson Slow Festival is probably the most personal festival in South Africa. It’s all about food, wine and stories straight from the mouths of legendary wine makers and chefs. Get to know winemakers and have dinner at their homes, over a long weekend.
Let’s laugh again at the annual Cape Town International Nando's Comedy Festival, an international comedy festival showcasing both local talent as well as well-known American and British comedians.
Blisters for Bread, is Cape Town's best loved charity fun walk. What a name. What an event. All funds raised from entries goes towards the Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA); an organisation that provides nutritious meals to hungry school children in the Western Cape. You can enter the 5km, 10km or 20km walk along the Sea Point Promenade. There will be live entertainment on the day, give-away prizes, food, and fun for the whole family.
More than 200 species from the Renosterveld, Sandveld, Rietveld and Wetland areas of the Hopefield district will be displayed at the Hopefield Fynbos Show. Enjoy lunch or tea, a flower route and fossil museum; as well as stalls, with a variety of traditional produce.
The Adventure Festival celebrates Adventure Sports and welcomes participants of all fitness levels. Various sporty events run throughout the weekend, as well as a little film festival . It's a great weekend for the whole family.
The gateway to South Africa’s finest floral region, Clanwilliam, opens its doors every year for the Clanwilliam Wild Flower Show, which has become a standing tradition for flower fanatics, since 1972. Showcasing inimitable flora exclusive to the Clanwilliam district and Ramskop Nature Reserve, the show raises public awareness of conservation issues.
