Best Things To Do in Cape Town This Easter Weekend 2026

Easter weekend in Cape Town hits different. Four days off, the weather is still warm enough to be outside, and the city always has something going on — you just need to know where to look.

Here's a roundup of what's on and where to find more.

Live Music & Concerts

If you're into something a little more upmarket this Easter, the **Candlelight: Tribute to ABBA & Queen** concert is a gorgeous option. Imagine your favourite anthems played live by candlelight — proper goosebumps stuff. Events like this get listed on [UbuntuMap](https://ubuntumap.com) so locals can find them on the actual map without having to scroll through Facebook groups for hours.

Markets & Outdoor Jols

The **Trenchtown Saturday Market** is back this weekend. Markets are peak Easter energy — street food, local crafts, live music, the works. Perfect for a family morning out before the braai fires get lit in the afternoon.

The **Pick n Pay Wine & Food Festival** is also on the radar for food lovers. Cape Town's food scene is genuinely world-class and weekends like this are when it shows off.

Braai Spots & Hidden Gems

Easter Monday is built for braais. Whether you're heading to Silvermine, Tokai Forest, or just your mate's backyard in Muizenberg, the Southern Suburbs and False Bay coastline have some of the best outdoor spots in the country.

If you want to discover local braai spots, picnic areas, or even find a last-minute Easter Sunday activity, check out [UbuntuMap](https://ubuntumap.com) — it's a live map of Cape Town businesses, events, and community listings, and locals are adding new spots every week.

Tips for the Long Weekend

  • **Book early** — popular restaurants fill up fast over Easter.
  • **Hit the markets in the morning** — by noon the parking is hectic.
  • **Check the map** — you'd be surprised what's happening in your own neighbourhood that you never knew about.
  • **Add your own listing** — got a pop-up, a garage sale, or a neighbourhood braai? Pin it on [UbuntuMap](https://ubuntumap.com) so your community can find it.
  • However you're spending it — sharp Easter, Cape Town. 🐣🔥
