Our list of featured November 2016 events in Cape Town include a good mash up of music festivals, open air cinema shows, concerts, beer tasting, wine tasting and seasonal highlights. In the last month before summer arrives in full source, we also celebrate Guy Fawkes with organised fireworks displays at selected venues across the city.
The weather this month is warming up, it’s still nice and quiet, schools are still winding off for the year, and, all in all, it’s a lovely time to come to Cape Town!
