Cape Town Events in June 2019

Our listing of the best Cape Town events in June will give you an updated events calendar with some of the best events in June 2019. Cape Town is known for its 'moody' weather in winter. The usually breezy or foggy days are maybe not for sunbathing, but the wildness of the coastline is something you have to experience. Temperatures can get a cold 13 degrees C, but when the sun is out, temperatures are often as high as 25 degrees C. So much for a cold winter! And remember that water is scarce everywhere, so stick to the water restrictions of 100 litres per person/day and save as much water as possible to keep our taps running in the months to come.

There is plenty do and enjoy in Cape Town in winter, no matter if the sun is shining or it is pouring outside. Watch how fast the clouds accumulate and disperse over the ocean and take in one of the most stunning orange sky during the sunsets you will ever see when dining out at any of the seaside restaurants along the Atlantic coast. And some have cozy log fires, so no excuse for not heading down to South Africa during winter!

What's on in Cape Town in June?

There is one public holidays this month. Youth Day, a public holiday, falls on Sunday 16 June this year and thus Monday, 17 June 2019 will be a public holiday.

June is a great month to explore the fascinating autumn colours of the Cape winelands and go for some nature walks in the Cape national parks or to join any of the wonderful winter festivals happening this month.
