The free concert on Greenmarket Square will feature live performances by Jonathan Rubain with Don Vino and Candice Thornton as well as The Kiffness featuring Matthew Gold. It will also include a mass Salsa class on the Square.
The City of Cape Town, in collaboration with the CCID and Greenmarket Square businesses, will be hosting this concert as the first in a series of events this Thursday, 5 March 2020.
‘The City has taken note of concerns raised by businesses in and around the Greenmarket Square about a dip in their turnover. The Square is one of the oldest venues in the country and is a significant tourism hub that also benefits local arts and crafts traders.
‘It is the City’s responsibility to ensure that we create an environment that enables business and events in Cape Town to grow, which means job opportunities for residents,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith.
Thursday’s event starts at 17:00 on Greenmarket Square and ends at 22:00.
‘We believe having these events over the coming weeks will revitalise the Square and return confidence in one of the oldest and historic Cape Town venues,’ added Alderman Smith.
‘40 on Burg Hotel wholeheartedly welcomes this fantastic event which the City of Cape Town is so graciously hosting. This shows the indomitable spirit of the City Central Trading district,’ said General Manager, Tosca Korver.
‘ONOMO Hotel Cape Town Inn on the Square is proud to be associated with the City of Cape Town and is grateful to be part of a Rainbow Nation dedicated to celebrating the historical revival of the Green Market Square, setting a new norm and building a positive future for our beloved Cape Town’s City Central Trading District,’ said General Manager Mynhardt Dejongh.
