This year’s theme for The Cape Town Carnival is ‘Amaza! ~ Ocean Odyssey’. From sunny beaches, rock pools and seashells, surfers and sunshine – to our place at the confluence of two oceans – the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The idea here being that “the ocean is a world of possibilities -beyond turbulence and uncertainty, there’s hope and smooth sailing”. The Carnival 2017 organizers call on you to “walk on the Promenade, play on the beach, see dolphins, penguins and fishermen, surf the waves, dive deep beneath the surface into mystery, magic and wonder.”
The Saturday, 18 March event allows spectators to have the freedom of the city streets on the Green Point Fan Walk. Over 2 000 dazzling costumed performers and musicians will take to Cape Town’s Fan Walk, entertaining viewers with floats and vibrant dance routines. The parade will be followed by a thumping street party, showcasing some of SA’s hottest musical talent
Oshri’s ‘Crazy but Free’
New York based singer Oshri Elmorich will also launch his song Crazy but Free. Oshri, who has provided the theme song for the event will also perform it. Look out for him on the Merball Float at the end of the Carnival Parade.
A Carnival Street Party
The night will be rounded off with a festive open air party from 9.45pm to midnight. Head to it at the Channel O P12 Area. It kicks off with Oshri at 9.30pm, followed by DJ Fresh and DJ Euphonik.
