Cape Town Events in April 2020

These Cape Town events in April will fascinate you! Here you will find our events calendar with a listing of some of the best Cape Town events for April 2020.

April is a month when there are plenty of holidays, as there are three public holidays coming soon. Easter is not only celebrated by the Christians in Cape Town, but also the community opens its heart with a variety of community drives. Friday 10 April is Good Friday, Monday 13 April is Easter Monday, in South Africa called 'Family Day' and there is another public holiday. Monday, 27 April, is celebrated as 'Freedom Day' in South Africa.

Enjoy the long weekends and take long walks on the stunning beaches in Cape Town. In April, we often have the first colder nights and the Cape Town weather can change quite fast during autumn in South Africa. Now you can experience four seasons in a day, as the Capetonians say.

There are many great events happening in the Mother City in April, as you will see when you take a closer look at the events calendar below.
