Cape Town hosts some of the most amazing gay parties on the African Continent. Every year thousands of people visit for key events including the Gay Pride Week which takes place at the height of the Summer Season in February. Enjoy the amazing Red Party where the whole town is dressed in Red, the sexy pool parties, the Mr Gay Cape Town event and more.

In December, as most of the US and Northern Europe is in the depths of Winter, Cape Town basks in Summer glory and hosts the MCQP International Circuit Party. This event, more than 20 years old is perhaps one of the longest running parties of its kind. Each year the theme is different and the entire gay community of Cape Town and beyond dresses up and parties late into the night.

Cape Town is also the perfect destination to celebrate New Years Eve. Amazing Fireworks displays light up the sky over Table Mountain as thousands flock to the waterfront for open air concerts and shows. There are also street parties in the gay district on Coburn Street, the Winter Mardi Gras and more.
