The carnival
Also referred to as the Cape Carnival in some sources, this is an annual event that takes place on the Green Point Fan Walk during March of every year and includes an extravagant parade of costumed performers, musicians and moving floats.
Inspired by the 200* Football World Cup, the carnival is said to be organized to celebrate the Cape's African identity with its diverse array of communities and cultures.
It is operated by a non-profit trust.
