Summer is just about here, and that means plenty of fabulous November events in Cape Town! From the Cape Town Festival of Beer to Synergy Live, wine festivals, book festivals, music festivals, charity events, sporting events and just about everything else in between, November is the perfect time to get out into the sun and enjoy the build-up to the festive season.
If you are in Cape Town this month, you may also notice rather a lot of guys with finely groomed moustaches. Movember is a global tradition observed by many male locals, and although the ladies of the Mother City are relieved when the month comes to an end, it’s all for a good cause to promote male health.
