Welcome to eMzantsi Carnival!
'eMzantsi' means 'in the South' in isiXhosa and the eMzantsi Carnival has been celebrating the fabulously diverse people and cultures of Cape Town's south peninsula since 2005.
The Carnival is the culmination of a year-round community-building process that encourages people of the South - especially children and youth - to cross boundaries and collaborate with each other to create a shared intercultural identity.
