The Cape summer, mapped.

Beach parties, long lunches, rooftops, markets and headline shows from Clifton to Franschhoek, day by day from 1 November to 31 March, with new nights added every hour.

NovDecJanFebMar

Each bar is a day of the season and its height is how much is on. Headline nights are in coral.

If you're not in the know

You hear about the party the next morning. Thirty-five seconds on why we built Cape Summer.

The nights you'll plan your trip around

20 headline dates are already confirmed, from Fatboy Slim on the sand at Cabo to Tyla at Green Point. Members get every one of them, and everything in between.

Dates from Cape Town Tourism's official summer guide and the venues themselves. Start times as announced.

Cape Town has a guest list. This is it.

The best of summer is posted on a hundred different Instagram accounts and told by word of mouth. Cape Summer reads them all, every hour, and puts the whole season in one place.

Every day, mapped

Beach clubs, wine farms, rooftops, markets and the big shows, day by day for 151 days. Each day shows that evening's sunset, so you know when to be where.
