Did you know?

November to March is a popular time to visit Cape Town and experience the long summer nights and renowned party atmosphere

A popular area for nightlife is Long Street and its environs in the city centre, which have numerous pubs and clubs that host regular live music events.

Another option is accessible V&A Waterfront, which always has something on the go in its outdoor amphitheatre, along with many restaurants featuring outdoor dining areas.

Also tell your clients to keep an eye out for one-off events.

A highlight of the Cape Town summer scene is a giant dress-up party known as the MCQP (Mother City Queer Project) that takes place in mid-December. This event started in 1994 as a celebration of the new South African Constitution that protected gay rights for the first time.

There are also other dress-up themes, and patrons always pull out all the stops in their efforts to come up with the most creative and original outfits of the evening.
