Summer is the most spectacular season in Cape Town and the Western Cape with perfect temperatures provides an endless array of things to do by day and night. It is also a key time for events – both cultural and sporting, making it an ideal time to plan a trip to the Western Cape as participant or as a spectator. “Cape Town’s line-up of events has increasingly become a major drawcard for international visitors,” says Cape Town Tourism CEO, Enver Duminy, “Cycling events like the Cape Town Cycle Tour (previously known as the Cape Argus) and the ABSA Cape Epic are on the hot-list for serious and adventure riders, runners flock to the breathtakingly beautiful Old Mutual Two Oceans Ultra and Half Marathon – and the city is on show with jazz, carnivals and parades in full swing.”
