Silent Sunsets<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Last Hurrah at Clifton 3rd Beach, May 9<\/p>\n

Silent Disco at Clifton 3rd Beach returns this weekend for what the organisers are calling their final beach event of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019s most iconic outdoor settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nina Simone Tribute Dinner with Auriol Hays is bringing live music, storytelling and dining together at the V&A Waterfront this Saturday, May 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

Led by performer Auriol Hays, the evening pays tribute to legendary singer and activist Nina Simone through a blend of live performance, archival storytelling and reflection on music, identity and resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Described as more than just a tribute show, the experience combines an intimate dinner setting with immersive music and narrative, inviting guests into a slower, more thoughtful night out at the Waterfront.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go market-hopping at The Neighbourgoods Market, Woodstock<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you like good drinks and good vibes, you can never go wrong with this. Woodstock’s weekend market remains one of the most convenient ways to spend a Saturday, with food booths, beverages, clothes, music, and people-watching all in one location. It gets busy, so go early if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
