Synonymous with the Cape is the South-Easter, we curse the wind when it howls and easily forget the natural healer within the gale being the Cape Doctor, sweeping our city air clean and ridding the air of pollution.

And no, it is not a naked moon dance festival, giving thanks to the Gods for our forceful winds, with some insane ritual dance (although that may seem fun to some). This fees has got a whole lot of cultural gees, celebrating the lifestyle of the Cape, of our own people and our unique, colourful heritage. For six days from the 29th of January to the 3rd of February, cultural hubs such as the
