KKKA Minstrel Competitions

A vibrant celebration of music, colour and culture will once again be witnessed as the KKKA Minstrel Competitions take centre stage in Cape Town.

More than just a competition, a living piece of Cape Town’s history will be celebrated.

Rooted in a tradition that began when enslaved people were granted a day to celebrate the New Year through song, dance and performance, the event has been passed down through generations and continues to unite communities today.

As thousands gather to experience the energy, creativity and heritage of the Kaapse Klopse, an unforgettable atmosphere of pride, joy and belonging will be felt throughout the city.
