Cape Town Jazz Festival
Listed under Festivals in Cape Town, South Africa.
Also known as ‘Africa’s Grandest Gathering’, the Cape Town Jazz Festival happens on five stages over two days in March and draws both international crowds and performers.
Around 40 bands/ artists perform, some in free open air concerts and some at ticketed events. As well as the shows there are workshops, master classes and a conference. Organisers aim to have half African acts and half from other parts of the world, so there’s a excellent blend of jazz genres.
