It’s the season to be dancing, especially with the new year ahead of us! If you enjoy swing, jazz, dancing and a good time, head over to the Silo museum for a series of free concerts.
Live music performances are becoming more popular in Cape Town and you’ll want to make sure that you take a turn by the Silo District for these amazing performances. All for free too!
The free concerts are held at the Silo district where contemporary art and architecture can be found at the Zeitz MOCAA Museum. For art lovers or any individuals curious about art, this is a brilliant way to educate yourself on 21st Century art from Africa and its diaspora. Be sure to visit the museum while you are there.
