It's time to spend some QT with your people - here are a few ideas. Enjoy and lean into that well-earned rest.
Cape Town, are you ready for the upcoming long weekend?
Not only are we celebrating the fathers in our lives on Sunday, but we also have a whole lot of joy for the little ones in your life, with Monday 16 June being National Youth day and all.
And as with any weekend in the Mother City, the weather will play a contributing factor to whatever you decide to do. This Saturday warms up to 23°C but stays overcast, so think cosy indoor hangs. Sunday clears up again with sunshine and a gentle breeze, perfect for a lazy brunch. By Monday, temps dip and patchy rain might roll in, so have a brolly handy just in case.
Visiting our city at a later date? Bookmark this upcoming list of the Best events in Cape Town. Or if you have an interesting event to feature - get in touch via our socials.
The recently launched MOI experience features over 60 interactive exhibits ideal for curious minds of all ages.
