All roads lead to the Green Point Fan Walk next month as the Cape Town Carnival makes its dazzling return on Saturday 21 March.

Now in its 16th year, the carnival will bring together over 1 500 performers in a vibrant celebration themed “Follow Your HeART.”

Adding to the excitement, this year’s event spotlights 12 “Champions” from Cape Town’s creative scene including singer Anslin Gysman and local actor Natasha van der Merwe, DJ Ready D, graffiti artist Rizah Potgieter, and designer Stephen van Eeden.
