Summer has officially arrived in Cape Town, which means soaking up the sun and grooving to some outdoor beats.
The Summer Sunset concerts are where good vibes and great music collide, to create the ultimate Sunday fun day.
Thousands of concert-goers flock to the Kirstenbosch Gardens every week during the summer, turning it into one of the City’s hottest spots.
Family, friends, a picnic blanket, and the breathtaking backdrop of the Gardens - as it has become affectionately known as - are the perfect ingredients for a fun-filled summer night.
The latest edition of concerts is also expected to feature an impressive line-up of musicians, from local legends to international stars.
Alongside the usual Sunday concerts, that have become a staple in the city, concert-goers can also expect even more festive magic that will bring an added sparkle to the holiday season.
The organisers have also announced a special New Year's Eve event at the Kirstenbosch Gardens this year.
So gear up to make unforgettable memories, long after the clock strikes midnight.
