The Green Point Fan Walk will once again come alive with an explosion of colour and entertainment as the 16th edition of the Cape Town Carnival returns on Saturday 21 March.
Over 1 500 performers will showcase their talent under the theme “Follow Your HeART.”
Speaking at the launch of this year’s event held at Nasdak in Cape Town on Thursday 15 January, Prof Rachel Jafta, chair of the Cape Town Carnival Trust, emphasised how the Cape Town Carnival offers job opportunities.
This year, the event will feature 12 “Champions” drawn from the city’s creative community.
