Cape Town's 7 things to do this weekend

Latest update: Tuesday, 8 July 2025

Besties, winter’s got nothing on this week’s lineup. There’s an ocean festival in Plett, a classic Jack and the Beanstalk show, French fest with wine tastings, orchestra ensemble with Mandisi Dyantyis, reptile show for kids, and a drag night at the V&A. Plus, 20+ more things to do anytime.

WEEK-LONG PLETT OCEAN FESTIVAL 

Winter is the best time of year to visit Plettenberg Bay. It’s sunny with clear skies and the whales arrive for their annual migration. And it’s the Plett Ocean Festival, which celebrates marine life with ocean safaris, whale watching, kayak tours, guided walks and beach clean ups. We’ve unpacked the Plett Ocean Festival (including where to eat & stay).  

Date: Friday, 4 July to Sunday, 13 July 2025
