As the festive season draws rapidly nearer, all of us Capetonians start to panic. We need to take time off work to get our festive shopping done, making sure we do this before all the good presents are taken, plan family time and somehow schedule in seeing all of our mates and making it to a couple of good parties.
However, as bank accounts get drained and calendars begin to fill up, make sure you don’t miss out in some of the fantastic celebrations and events happening in the Green Point area. Below is a short list of worthwhile events, so book yourselves in advance, tell your friends, and try to get tickets sooner rather than later.
