The Cape Town Carnival returns to the Mother City after a two-year break and this year's attendees will need to pay.

. This time around, it has a different format to comply with Covid-19 health and safety measures. It's also going to cost attendees at least R10, in a departure from the historically free event.

This year's carnival consists of five hubs, each with their own distinct theme, situated at different locations within the city centre, between Hatfield Street and Buitengracht Street. The organisers have stressed the importance of making this year's carnival as safe as possible within the context of Covid-19, fearing that without any limitations or provisions that the event may turn into a super spreader.

This R10 ticket gives one attendee access to one show at one hub. It will cost R50 to experience all five hubs and the carnival organisers recommend visiting 'at least three hubs to get a full experience.' There are no group, pensioner, or student discounts.
