Silent Sunsets
The Last Hurrah at Clifton 3rd Beach, May 9
Silent Disco at Clifton 3rd Beach returns this weekend for what the organisers are calling their final beach event of the season.
After months of beach parties, vineyard sessions and sunset gatherings, the event returns to Clifton 3rd Beach for one last send-off before winter fully settles in. Set between granite boulders, white sand and ocean views, the location alone makes it one of Cape Town’s most iconic outdoor settings.
The silent disco experience adds multiple music channels through wireless headphones, turning the beachfront into a late-afternoon dance floor with a more immersive twist on the usual party setup.
