[[Fancy Fair and Fête]] is the name given to a few events from time to time in Cape Town.

Such fêtes were apparently popular in the 1860s.

==[[Mr Tilley]]'s annual "[[Fancy Fair and Fête]]" at the [[Round House]]==

[[Mr Tilley]] of the [[Round House Hotel]] annually organized a "[[Fancy Fair and Fête]]" on New Year's day. [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1980: p. ) records at least one of these events in 1868, when an unnamed company of [[Amateur Christy's]] troupe and similarly unnamed "[[Dutch]] Theatrical Company" appeared.

==The '''''[[Juvenile Fancy Fair and Grand Fête]]''

Another example is the '''''[[Juvenile Fancy Fair and Grand Fête]]''''', the name given to two charity events organized by the [[Cape Town Institute and Club]] in the [[Cape Gardens]] in 1869.

==The event==

The first ''[[Juvenile Fancy Fair and Grand Fête]]'' took place on 25 February 1869 and was held in support of the victims of the great fires in Uitenhage and Knysna.

The programme consisted of four hour long plays put on by what was billed as the "[[Royal Adelphi Theatre]]", featuring ''inter alia'' [[Mr Brazier]], [[Mr Webster]], [[Mr Paul]] and colleagues. Among the works presented were a musical melodrama called ''[[The Old Sapper, or The Ghost of the Powder Magazine]]'', ''[[Ballet Pantomimes]]'' by a Corps du Ballet, dancing, singing and acting by "the world-renowned" [[Y.M.I. Christy's]] and a performance by the [[Ethiopian Serenaders]]. There were also a number of sporting events.

A second such ''[[Juvenile Fancy Fair and Grand Fête]]'' was organized by the [[Cape Town Institute and Club]] on 30 November, 1869, again with various theatrical and Christy companies appearing. The [[Miranda-Harper Opera Company]] and there were "velocipede races" held in the afternoon.

Such fêtes were apparently popular at the time, for example [[Mr Tilley]] of the [[Round House Hotel]] annually organized a "[[Fancy Fair and Fête]]" on New Year's day (at least in 1868, where an unnamed company of [[Amateur Christy's]] and similarly unnamed "[[Dutch]] Theatrical Company" appeared).
