Cape Town Minstrel Carnival, Cape Town, South Africa takes place on the 2 January 2011 and carries on the annual tradition of minstrel entertainment which originated over one hundred years previous.
In the old days the cruise liners which stopped in from the USA were entertained by blacked up minstrels singing to the accompaniment of banjo music. The Cape Minstrel Carnival continues in this vein with over 13,000 brightly dressed minstrels parading.
Commencing in District 6 this is a very lively Carnival. For more information call +27 (0) 21 761 5239.
