Old Mutual Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts

Bring the whole family, a picnic and a bottle of wine and enjoy some of South Africa's best live music while the sun slips behind the mountain


Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts are a fantastic way to spend a Sunday sunset in Cape Town. The open-air amphitheatre concerts cater for all music tastes, from jazz to folk to rock to big band Swing, and is a delightful way to enjoy the surroundings and unwind.

Part of the charm lies in the warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with music-lovers picnicking on the soft grass banks that slope downward towards the stage.

The concerts take place every Sunday beginning in November and ending the following April.
