Cape Town Carols at Kirstenbosch

It would not be the Festive Season in Cape Town without Cape Town Carols at Kirstenbosch.

Proudly hosted by the Rotary Club of Kirstenbosch, sponsored by Pick n Pay, and supported by Radio Tygerberg 104FM and Fine Music Radio, the Mother City’s most-loved carols event returns this year to the picturesque Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens from Thursday, 18 to Sunday, 21 December 2025.

Grab a picnic blanket, round up your friends and family, and enjoy a wonderful evening set against what is unmistakably one of the world’s most magnificent backdrops. The event will usher in the Festive Season with your favourite singalongs and the age-old Christmas story, delicious food, and the opportunity to buy some Christmas goodies.

This year, Pick n Pay Smart Shopper members have an opportunity to purchase a ticket in a designated seating area, including a chair for added comfort. One chair per paying guest. The Pick n Pay Smart Shopper area will only accommodate children over 6 with a Smart Shopper Scholar Ticket.
