Cape Town’s downtown district was transformed this past weekend by the inaugural Sheer City Festival, a groundbreaking two-day block party that celebrated the city's vibrant spirit, music, art, and culture.

It traversed from the Harrington Street district utilising iconic venues like Harringtons, District, Surfa Rosa, Social, and The Electric on Saturday, January 17, and Sunday, January 18.

The event has cemented its status as a cultural highlight, paying homage to Cape Town’s deep connection with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) culture and its renowned nightlife scene.

Hula hoop fun.
