2026 marks 31 years of Human Rights Day. While we don’t have the day off this year, we’ve put together a guide on how you can spend the day this Saturday, 21 March. There are free guided tours at a historical exhibition, a heritage concert, family festival on a tree farm for under R50, and more for you.

FOOD HAPPY HOUR SPECIALS

If you’re looking for a dinner out on Saturday, one of Cape Town’s best bars also has specials on food. From 4.30pm to 7pm fable has happy hour on both food and drinks, which means you could pay R90 instead of R130 for a smashburger, or R85 instead of R135 for a chicken tikka flatbread. There’s also specials on cocktails at fable. 

When: Saturday hours, 4.30pm to 1am
Cost: From R60 for food, and from R85 for drinks
