Mayor Hill-Lewis said that the event is an opportunity for residents to support local business and enjoy what’s on offer within their communities.

“Many restaurants, vendors and traders are still struggling to recover from the impact of the pandemic and the City is committed to doing what it can to ensure they get through this. At the same time we are giving our residents, who have been stellar during lockdown periods when going out was prohibited, an opportunity to support local business and enjoy what’s on offer within their communities. We invite residents to come out and support this.” he said

The City of Cape Town said that some of the objectives of the event include providing businesses and vendors with the opportunity to maximise their income in a time of capacity restrictions, improving the urban environment in key economic precincts and encouraging more pedestrian thoroughfare in support of businesses and avoiding significant impact on traffic flow.
