REFOREST 6

Unusual things to do for Easter in Cape Town

Not your typical plans. Candle concert, (free) light art, game drive & more

Last updated: Tuesday, 24 March 2026

Whether you celebrate Easter or not, there are plenty of things to do over the long weekend. We’ve included egg hunts and family Easter festivals of course, but if you’re looking for something different, there’s also a safari getaway (only one hour from Cape Town), comedy night filled with legendary local comics, free magical light art exhibition, candlelit concert, high tea with hot cross buns, and more.

WEEKEND OF MUSIC, TREES AND OFF-GRID FUN 

Reforest Fest is a tree-planting festival first, where thousands of indigenous trees are planted over Easter weekend but it’s also so much more. You’ll wander between laughter yoga, incense making workshops, and curated wine tastings. There’s also live music, silent discos and glamping. Here’s all you need
