Last Bree St Sundays!
Join the last Open Street Experiment on Bree on the 29th of March
This up-coming Sunday is going to be epic, see below what is happening
Join us for Bree Street Sundays, the Weekly Bree and Shortmarket Street Experiment where we close the road(s) to cars every Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM along where we’re inviting Capetonians to reclaim public space and reimagine a safer, more pedestrian-friendly city.
This initiative is supported by the Mayor's office and is not classified as an event or a street festival with food truck—it’s part of a new approach to using tools to create safer streets through temporary installations and hands-on activities to see what works and what doesn’t.
When: Every Sunday
Time: 10 AM - 5 PM
Where: Bree Street (Wale to Strand, including Shortmarket St)
How can I get there? Trains by PRASA WC runs there until the 11 of January across Sunday. Or you can catch a MyCiTi that runs on Sundays, you can walk or cycle if you are close by or you can find parking by entering Shortmarket St via Buitengracht St.
