Cape Town Carnival 2025!

WowZA! What a fabulous celebration of Cape Town - blending imagination, creativity, and our South African spirit. Each float, group of performers and our amazing special guests showcased the magic of community, culture, and our vibrant energy.

This year, we turned up the joy, laughter, and fun with a touch of glamour, all wrapped in the wonder of the Mother City. We honoured Cape Town, South Africa, and the incredible journey we've had!

We hope that you enjoyed our celebration of 15 incredible years of unforgettable moments and magic in the best city in the world!
