2017 is nearing its end, and it’s almost time to welcome the new year. We’ve put together some top picks for parties happening on 31 December to celebrate the start of a brand-new year.
Located on bustling Long Street, Beerhouse is known for golden brews, fun quiz nights and being a good place to watch some sport. The establishment is hosting a Mardi Gras-themed party on New Year’s Eve, so be sure to dress up. The event starts at 9pm.
Don’t know where it is? You can explore the area earlier in the day and hop off at the Long Street tour office (stop 5) on the City Sightseeing route.
Local is always lekker at the Cape Town Comedy Club, and this year some of our best talent will make audiences laugh right into 2018. You can see local comedian and host for the evening Kurt Schoonraad crack some jokes on stage and enjoy a fun night with your loved ones. Book your spot before it’s all sold out. Remember, you can hop off right at our V&A Waterfront tour office (stop 1) and start your afternoon at this popular attraction. The show starts at 8pm.
La Parada is bringing in 2018 with a bang. The popular eatery in Constantia Nek is hosting local musicians Ard Matthews (frontman of Just Jinjer) and Jimmy Nevis for a night of live music. Tuck into tapas and celebrate the new year singing along to some local tunes. This trendy restaurant is also part of our City Sightseeing routes (stop 25), so you can hop on and off and enjoy some wine at the surrounding wine estates. The event starts at 8pm, so be sure to arrive to get a good seat.
Revellers are in for a treat this season as the fabulous Secrets of Summer party returns to the beautiful Maiden’s Cove this New Year’s Eve.
