#followyourheART

The #followyourheART initiative was part of our 2022 Reunited Carnival and was developed to help local community groups gain more recognition and exposure and give participants opportunities to perform. Encouraging people to follow their passion, showcase their art and be inspired by what makes them dance and sing, this initiative encourages you to #findyourgroove #findyourgroup, #followyourheART.

 #followyourheART is a call to embrace our passions, connect with our roots, and be part of a movement that transcends the stage. This campaign invites you to explore, engage, and be enthralled by the pulsating energy of creativity that courses through our streets.

Join us in this journey as we celebrate the incredible community groups that are the heartbeat of our Carnival. Together, let’s discover the rhythm that makes Cape Town dance, sing, and come alive.

On each group profile page you can watch a video and learn about the group’s unique skills and talents.

Watch this space as we continue to add to the groups each week.
