Cape Town Festival on villa holiday break
Cape Town takes great pride in its people, its culture and its past. South Africans love to celebrate, especially at the annual Cape Town Festival. During the month of March the city transforms and its people spread the energy far and wide for the Human Rights Day Concert. You can witness this festival break first hand from a Cape Town villa holiday.
Cape Town Festival
The ultra cosmopolitan city of Cape Town has since 1999 turned on its head for the Cape Town Festival. The entire city participates in the festival break from galleries, universities, clubs, theatres, bars, museums and parks. On offer is a varied array of performances designed to pay homage to not only Cape Town, but the whole of South Africa.

Human Rights Day concert
These multicultural events feature art exhibitions, cuisine sampling, wine tasting, concerts, educational programmes, concert events and even dance lessons. Inspired by the ‘One City Many Cultures Project’, the aim of the festival is to bring a variety of art to the masses.
Encompassed in the festival break are the Company Gardens Festival, Night Vision Carnival, In Touch Community Project, Human Rights Day Concert and the African Summer Stage. Come and learn the history and culture on display for everyone at the Cape Town Festival from the luxury of a beautiful Cape Town villa holiday.
