Concerts in the Park had a wonderful summer season with some great shows including Mi Casa, Mango Groove, Prime Circle, Francois Van Coke, Matthew Mole, Jesse Clegg, Lee Cole and Will Linley – just to name a few!

But as winter approaches we have had to make a financial decision not to risk chancing our arm with the weather. So, we have had to cancel the remainder of the shows including 7 May 2023. Without a sponsor and with low ticket sales, CITP being a non-profit organisation cannot carry the financial risk.

Subject to being supported by a community conscious sponsor, we look forward to planning the 2023/2024 season for November. To bringing you the very best artists at an affordable price, continuing our Nation Building endeavour – building

As always, thank you to all our wonderful supporters,
— Charles Lindsay-Bowman
Chairman

Yes, you can. While we have a wide range of vendors available at the event that we would love for you to support but you are welcome to bring your own picnic baskets. Please note however that no alcohol and soft drinks can be brought in but will be on sale at the venue.

Yes you may bring your dogs. However, we ask you to be considerate and keep your dogs on leads, also to bring poo bags and clean up after them.

There are no chairs available but you are welcome to bring your own picnic blankets, folding chairs, a folding picnic table or umbrella for shade.

We will be providing extra bins and black bags but are appealing to concertgoers to please take their litter home with them.

Our last concert was in 2019 and it was primarily funded by our founder, Charles Lindsay-Bowman and through ticket sales at R25. The City of Cape Town supports us by allowing us to use De Waal Park and they also assist us with some infrastructure support. The event is also a fund raiser for The Learning Initiative.

Putting on events and inviting world-class, local artists to perform comes at cost. So, we were faced with the decision of either abandoning the concert series completely or reviving these wonderful musical afternoons but with a very low ticket price.

We decided that we would bring back the Concerts in the Park, at a minimal ticket price of R99 (less than a movie ticket) and FREE entrance for kids under 13.

In 2022 we are back – bigger and better than ever before!

• 10 concerts featuring the very best South African artists with 3 artists playing at each event
• Additional entertainment including school bands performing at most events
• Local food and refreshment vendors with a wide range of options to choose from
• A fascinating craft market open from 10am to sunset.

We can assure you it will be worth every cent and we look forward to seeing you at Concerts In The Park this summer!

Organising a series of concerts for the community is no small feat. While we love hosting and bringing everyone together at the beautiful De Waal Park to enjoy the best of South African talent, there are a number of expenses that need to be covered. Below is a breakdown of just some of these items for each concert.

Note: Concerts in the Park is a non-profit event management company. The charity of choice for this series of concerts is The Learning Initiative (www.thelearninginitiative.org) which supports children with barriers to learning in disadvantaged communities throughout South Africa
