Photo credit: First Thursdays
On the first Thursday of every month you are invited to explore the lively inner-city and its vast array of cool and captivating art galleries and cultural attractions. Its free, open to everyone, and there is no official tour, route, or guided walk. This means that whichever exhibitions, performances, and locations you would like to visit / attend (be sure to pick up a map at participating venues) is entirely up to YOU!
One of the many things that makes First Thursdays so fun and thrilling is the fact that everything (including the art galleries & cultural attractions) around the central city stays open until 9pm, and more often than not even later than that. This gives everyone the opportunity to explore Cape Town’s vibrant, diverse, and lively inner-city on foot and experience the wealth of art and culture the city has to offer.

This epic Mother City movement takes place between Wale and Strand streets, including Cape Town’s buzzing hip-and-happening Loop, Long, and Bree Street.
