A colourful celebration of all things Cape Town is set to ring in the bumper summer season in the Mother City at the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas on Saturday, 16 December.
Taking place at the recently refurbished Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, an iconic hub of the city’s social and sporting scene, the Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas offers a day of fabulous entertainment for the whole family.
Set against the backdrop of thrilling Grade 1 horseracing, racegoers can look forward to a day of action and entertainment with performances by more than 15 Cape Minstrel Troupes – comprising approximately 8,000 members – in their “Voorsmakie” ahead of the Hollywoodbets Cape Town Street Parade on the 2nd of January. Traditional Cape Town cuisine, a market, a safe and supervised kids’ zone, and more, will also be on offer.
