What is there to do in Cape Town this week?

Palaner is showing 24 events on in Cape Town right now, pulled from every listings site, ticket seller and promoter newsletter we can reach for South Africa. The list is ranked, not alphabetical: tell Palaner what you like and the order changes.

Is this a list of the usual tourist attractions?

No. Palaner only shows things that are actually happening on a date — gigs, club nights, markets, talks, socials, screenings, food events. Permanent attractions don't appear, because they aren't events.

Does Palaner cost anything?

No. It's free in any browser, and it isn't a ticket seller — it links out to wherever the event is actually sold.

How Palaner picks what's on in Cape Town

There are more events on in Cape Town in any given week than anyone can read through — which is why most people end up at whatever their feed happened to show them.

Palaner reads every source at once, removes the duplicates, and ranks what's left against what it knows about you. Right now that's 24 events happening in Cape Town.

Every pick comes with the reason it was picked — the taste it matched, the real price, and how far it is. You can tell it when it's wrong, and the next list is different.
