On the first Thursday of every month, different parts of Cape Town come alive with art, music, food and lots of people walking around and having fun. Let's talk about First Thursdays!
First Thursdays! This is a special event that happens on the first thursday of every month in Cape Town, as well as in certain other cities in South Africa. On the first Thursday of every month, art galleries, shops and cafés stay open later than usual. People can walk around, see cool art, listen to music and try yummy food. The tradition started in November 2012, inspired by similar events in London, in the United Kingdom, and in other cities.
The goal of First Thursdays is to make art and culture fun and easy to enjoy for everyone to see in the city. It gives people safe and lively places to explore, enjoy art and meet new friends. Many events are free or discounted, so anyone and everyone can join in. It also encourages walking around the city and seeing all the different things that Cape Town has to offer!
