Out and About in Cape Town: Things to do this weekend

Cape Town is packed with options for this upcoming weekend.  

There’s also a stylish First Thursdays thrown into the mix to get you started early. This is when the CBD taps its creative energy and goals to be a cosmopolitan, pedestrian-friendly city - with all the kasi culture for extra flavour.

For the rest of the weekend, from Friday, 6 June to Sunday, 8 June you’ll find a hum of live music, theatre, fashion, markets, and family-friendly experiences. 

Weather-wise: When in Cape Town, the drill is always to expect four seasons in one day. This weekend's weather conditions will see showers on Saturday morning, and a chance of rain on Sunday. 

So grab a jacket, maybe your umbrella and dive into the best Cape Town has to offer this weekend!
