Cape Town is gearing up for one of its most event-heavy weekends of the year, with more than 50 gatherings scheduled to take place across the city and nearly 160,000 people expected to attend.
The weekend coincides with the iconic Festive Light Switch-On and a bumper line-up of festivals, expos, races, and community events, a moment officials say signals the start of a vibrant summer season during the festive season.
In a notice shared by the City of Cape Town , officials confirmed that Safety and Security teams, alongside SAPS and event organisers, will be deployed throughout the weekend to help manage crowds, maintain order and support the city's growing reputation as a leading destination for major cultural and sporting events.
