The inaugural Unity on the Square concert takes place at Greenmarket Square on Thursday 16 December 2021. A number of artists will perform, while several roads in the area will be closed.
The City of Cape Town is partnering with local artists who organised the concert to commemorate the Day of Reconciliation.
The event will feature 20 local artists, food trucks and other vendors.
Unity on the Square is aimed at promoting a sense of unity and hope during the time of a global health crisis. It is also held in support of artists whose livelihood has been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Motorists are advised to take note of the temporary road closures that will be in place for the public holiday and to plan their trips accordingly.
