After a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the The Cape Town Carnival made a come back.
A highlight at this year’s Cape Town Carnival was the Tales of Camissa performed by the Betjies van Betjiesfontein riel dancers, bow player Glen Arendse, members of the Cochoqua Khoisan Community, Sanscape Dancers and Stilt Walkers at the Iziko Museum venue.
The carnival, themed ‘Reunited’, featured over 600 performers.

In the past, the carnival used to be a showcase and a parade of performers and floats down the streets but the newly returned carnival had to reinvent itself.

Instead of moving through the CBD, the carnival was hosted across five locations, including Hatfield Street, the Iziko South African Museum, the National Gallery, Green Market Square and Heritage Square.
