The City of Cape Town will support the annual DSTV Mitchells Plain Festival which will celebrate its seventh anniversary.

The annual festival is a firm favourite on the City’s events calendar and is billed as the biggest event of its kind on the Cape Flats, attracting more than 35 000 people.

The First Mitchells Plain festival was held in 2009 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the community, with an estimated population of 700 thousand residents.

“A number of people will be participating. Round about people from 36 000 people from Cape Town and even outside who we are expecting.” Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Economic Development Councillor Gareth Bloor said.
