Cape Town’s most colourful weekend is almost here. On Saturday 21 March, Green Point will transform into a kaleidoscope of creativity as the Cape Town Carnival returns for its 17th year with the inspiring theme “Follow Your Heart.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annual celebration of Cape Town’s diverse cultural heritage will see approximately 1 500 performers from across the Western Cape come together for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of music, dance, and artistic expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s new this year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year’s carnival will be led by 12 creative champions who will share their personal stories of following their passions while showcasing how Cape Town has shaped their artistic journeys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will also pay special tribute to Khayelitsha’s beloved hip hop artist Bravo le Roux, who passed away in January. Le Roux’s legacy will be honoured through a dedicated float celebrating his contribution to the local creative scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the carnival’s most anticipated traditions returns as the City’s Fire and Rescue Services and Law Enforcement officers compete in the pre-parade activities, bringing their own creative flair and friendly rivalry to the festivities.
