With only two months to go until the iconic street parade returns to Green Point’s Somerset Road, carnival crew and participating groups are hard at work preparing floats, finalising costumes and perfecting their dance skills.
The 2023 theme of ‘Afr’Energy’ symbolises the sense of reinvigoration that is being felt across the city after the challenges of Covid. At last week’s media launch, Cape Town Carnival performers gave guests a taste of this passion and the vibrant visual feast that awaits onlookers.“It is a joy to know that the Cape Town Carnival will return to its ‘home’ on the Fan Walk in Green Point,”said Mayor of Cape Town Geordin Hill-Lewis at the event.
The diverse collection of participants–ranging from Masiphumelele drummers to the Western Province Marching Band–makes it a not-to-be-missed celebration of South African culture, collective strength and creativity.
