\"\"<\/a>Had I with my friend Ute Hermanus and German Tourist Gloria not been so keen to experience the Street Festival in Bo-Kaap, we would have turned around when we passed three local ladies coming from the Festival, telling us that there was barely any Cape Malay food available, hot dogs mainly offered.<\/p>\n

We were surprised that parking was so readily available and that there was no traffic blockage at all. That should have been a further warning.<\/p>\n

The Street Festival is one of a series which have seen various Cape Town streets in various suburbs closed off, and the community coming together to enjoy the food of the restaurants in the area, and entertained by musical entertainment.<\/p>\n

In April Regent Road was closed in Sea Point, and we loved the atmosphere and vibe, and meeting up with friends one had not seen in a long time.<\/p>\n
