Also known as Kaapse klopse is one of the most famous events which occur in Cape Town where we celebrate new year in a  vibrant carnival. It is different from the rest of the carnivals around the world. It displays Cape Towns diversity and rich culture.

The annual Cape Town Minstrel Carnival is a vibrant celebration that occurs each year around the new year. Thousands of musicians, singers, dancers, and tailors come together during this festive time to prepare for the lively performances as Kaapse Klopse or Coon Carnival. Expect to witness artists and performers adorned in stunning, vivid colors that symbolize the exuberant and dynamic nature of this event.

Tweede Nuwe Jaar

The roots of this specific event can be traced back to the 19th century. The presence of slavery in Cape Town plays a significant role in the history of this event, as the indigenous residents of District Six were granted a day off on New Year's Day in January. This event is also connected to the minstrel performers who made stops in Cape Town, with their unique musical style and shows being inspired by African American minstrel groups that arrived in Cape Town via ships.

More than ten thousand guests, artists, and performers have their faces painted white instead of the traditional black face paint. They proceed to march and parade through the streets, dancing and singing. Costume competitions are also hosted at Green Point Stadium. The celebrations extend through February at Athlone Stadium in the Cape Flats.

This event is not just a commemoration of bygone days but a vibrant celebration of life and the anticipation of a fresh year ahead. Musical performances of tracks like 'Take Me Back to Mannenberg' and 'Welcome to Cape Town' by groups known as Dixies and the District Six echo through the venue, transforming the somber history of slavery into a lively and uplifting experience. The majority of participants are descendants from the third and fourth generations.

Cape Town invites you to watch thousands of people of the Cape coloured community with cultural music and dance celebration. See artist and performers dressed in glittery uniforms, face pain-thats, bright colours and much. Tradition is what makes this event special.
