Cape Town’s Inner City will come alive again with the November Inner City Saturdays
Next edition: Saturday, 29 November 2025
After an overwhelmingly positive debut in October that brought fresh energy, increased foot traffic, and strong sales to the city’s core, The Mission for Inner City Cape Town has confirmed the next Inner City Saturdays event for Saturday, 29 November 2025.
The new monthly daytime programme continues to bring Cape Town’s heart back to life, inviting locals to explore the city’s food, art, design, retail, and cultural offerings on foot. From Bree Street to Church Square, the Inner City buzzed with visitors last month, and local retailers reported a clear uptick in activity.
“The energy and turnout at our first Inner City Saturdays proved that Capetonians are ready to reconnect with the city,” says Tim Harris, Co-Founder of The Mission for Inner City Cape Town. “Retailers told us they saw a marked increase in people through their doors on the last Saturday of October. That’s exactly what this initiative is about: giving people a reason to come back into town and experience the city’s creativity, community, and culture firsthand.”
The 29 November edition will be covering Waterkant Street to the top of Bree and will once again feature a curated, walkable programme of gallery pop-ups, and boutique retail experiences with more restaurants and cafés joining the lineup this time.
Next Saturday, ALEXANDRA HÖJER & METRO + HANDMADE CLOTHING CO. (Upper Bree); Cafe Sante + Iziko Old Town House (Green Market Square) and THK Gallery (de Waterkant) are among the new businesses joining Inner City Saturdays.
And once you’ve explored the buzz of the Inner City, make your way to the Company’s Garden (Paddocks) for Best Day Out, the vibrant one-day festival returning for its second year and set to transform the Gardens into a lively space filled with live music, DJs, artisanal food, lawn games, and family-friendly fun in one of Cape Town’s most iconic outdoor settings.
Running from 10:00–20:00, tickets range from R200–R300, giving visitors access to an exciting music lineup including Yndian Mynah, Yellow House, Kayla the Crow, and Disco Dez. Food lovers can also enjoy local favourites Frankie Fenner, Arthur’s Mini Super, Nourish’d, Mariah Curry and additional vendors serving up crowd-pleasing bites and drinks throughout the day.
“Inner City Saturdays is about building momentum for city life and Best Day Out is the perfect way to end the day,” adds Harris. “Together, these events show how collaboration and creativity can position Cape Town’s Inner City as the place to be.”
