Cape Town Events in April 2011

In my Cape Town events in April listing you will find an events calendar with a listing of some of the best Cape Town events for April 2011.

Some of the best Cape Town events in April are the very popular Two Oceans Marathon and the annual Decorex Show, but there are many more events worth to go and see. This year the Easter holidays are in late April. Around this time we often have the first colder nights and the Cape Town weather can change quite fast during autumn in South Africa. There are four seasons in a day in April, as the Capetonians say.

Foodwise, the wonderful local fresh food markets are calling you to join and taste some of the freshest food in season like the delicious local avocados.

April is a month when there are plenty of holidays, there are three public holidays in this month and Easter is not only celebrated by the Christians in Cape Town, but also the community opens its heart with all their community drives.

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.
