\"Bree<\/a>Bree Street is once again welcoming city-dwellers and tourists to visit the trendy foodie street on Sunday 17 January, when the street will be closed to traffic, many of its restaurants will be open, and entertainment will be offered in the street. It is the second such event in a year.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Open Streets is an international initiative, which allows the residents of an area to ‘reclaiming their streets as public space<\/em>‘. The purpose is to enjoy the traffic-free street for the day, have fun or exercise on it, listen to live music, and so help to break down social divisions in the city.<\/p>\n

Starting at 10h00 and running until 15h00, one would park in the area, and then cycle, skateboard, or walk to Bree Street. One would then walk from one direction to another, and enjoy the fun entertainment, as well as meeting old friends and make new acquaintances. Best is to bring a hat, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes for the outing.<\/p>\n

Cape Town’s ‘hippest block<\/em>‘ according to Wall Street Journal<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and ‘most fashionable street’<\/em> according to Conde Nast<\/strong> Traveler<\/strong>, Bree Street is dominated by restaurants, but there are also art galleries, \"Open_Streets_logo\"<\/a>decor outlets, fashion boutiques, and jewellery outlets. \u00a0Businesses\u00a0which will be participating on Sunday are:<\/p>\n
