It’s a celebration of the many diverse cultures which makes Cape Town stand out from the most world-famous cities. The carnival is considered a community participation event by the Western Cape Government and draws bigger crowds each year. The event serves a platform for local performance groups, designers, musicians and artists to showcase their talents to the world. Every year, it may create over 1,000 part-time jobs. The long-term vision, however, is to create more programmes focusing on skills development, thus permanently employing people. Since 2010 when the carnival was held on Long Street, it has become the festival of the year, and has grown from 17,000 spectators to as many as 55,000. This year, the carnival will be held on the Fan Walk in Green Point. And its theme is Mother City, Mother Nature, exploring two of Cape Town’s greatest assets: its natural beauty and its people. The festival will showcase what makes the Mother City one of the most unique cities in the world. Over 2,000 shining costumed performers and musicians will take to Cape Town’s Fan Walk, entertaining viewers with floats (花车) and dynamic dance routines. The parade (游行) will be followed by a grand street party, showcasing some of South Africa’s hottest musical talent. Fans and tourists are encouraged to join in the street festivities anytime from 16: 00, when it will turn into a pedestrian walkway with 2km of food stands and festive hospitality (好客) areas. Later in the evening Cape Town will up the pace with the most appealing and festive open air party, the Cape Town Carnival Street Party!
