TWO MARKETS
Predictably there are dozens of markets at this point in the season, and these two are guaranteed to be especially stylish and absolutely packed...but hard to resist anyway. Neighbourgoods is having a rare night market tonight (Wednesday), and there's a new Designer-Maker market featuring over 40 local designer exhibitors on the fanwalk near to the bridge ... also tonight.
AFRICAN BATTLE CRY: HIP HOP DANCE COMPETITION
Tomorrow at the Joseph Stone in Athlone is an event featuring hip-hop dance battles with talent from throughout the Western Cape. A hip-hop development programme was started in 1996 and under the umbrella of a project called "Heal the Hood" this competition has happened annually ever since. I've seen it on tv, badly filmed, and even then it's quite amazing, so it must be a thrill to watch it live.
Joseph Stone Auditorium cnr Klipfontein & Protea Rds Athlone
Thursday 16 14h00
Cost: R 40 Tel: 021 706 0481
PEDRO AT THE KALK BAY THEATRE
A lovely description of the show from the theatre's newsletter:
At 11h00 every day Monday to Saturday is Pedro the Music Man with his enchanting brand of entertainment for younger theatre-goers - suitable for ages 4 to 10. Pedro takes the kids on a magical, musical journey showing them how seaweed, stones, pumpkins and lots of other everyday things can be made into fantastical musical instruments. Saturday's audience sang, hummed, clapped and danced with Pedro and didn't want to let him go.
Every day except Sunday till Thurs 23 11h00

FYNBOS SUMMER SALE
Early in this blog's life, I listed a fynbos sale/open day at Good Hope Nursery in Scarborough. I went out there that day and it was so well worth the journey - a beautiful array of indigenous plants at 20% discount, expert advice. This Thurday their fynbos Summer Sale is happening with the same deal on plants plus children's activities, food stalls, talks at 11h00 and free guided fynbos walk at 13h00. Drive through Scarborough and at the T-junction turn right - it's along that road on the left.
