Cape Town International Jazz Festival 2020

Celebrate the 21st festival of the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Africa’s biggest gathering of Jazz talent. One of the unique elements of the festival is that it is not contained to the weekend of the main event. Instead, every year, there are fringe events that jazz lovers can attend.

21 Years in the Making

This year marks the 21st instalment of the Cape Town Internation Jazz festival. The festival has become affectionately known as “Africa’s Grandest Gathering”, and is one of the highlights of the annual music calendar.

Not only do acts come from all over the world to perform, but tourists flood to Cape Town with the sole purpose of taking in the festival.

With 5 stages and over 40 artists performing at the event, there is something for everyone. The festival sees an annual turnout of over 37 000 attendees!
