Cape Town Minstrel Carnival (Tweede Nuwe Jaar)

Cape Town bursts into action with music, dancing and parades on January 2nd as it celebrates Tweede Nuwe Jaar. Rooted in the slave history, the celebration has became a spectacular cultural event, featuring performers (known as the Kaapse Klopse) who don bright costumes and strut their stuff through the streets. The best place to watch the parade is in the historic District Six area.
