Muizenberg Jazz Festival Comes to The Masque Theatre

The Muizenberg Jazz Festival is taking place on 16th and 17th November 2018 at the Masque Theatre in Muizenberg, Cape Town.

Tucked in between iconic Surfers Corner and Muizenberg mountain peak, the Masque Theatre's proximity to main roads, highways, and public transport makes world-class entertainment easily accessible to all people coming from anywhere and by any means.

The lineup this year will feature 10 Jazz acts, each performing an hour long set over the course of the two evenings, as well as a photographic exhibition in the foyer of the theater.

The festival offers diverse Jazz genres such as Contemporary Jazz, African Jazz, Fusion Jazz and World Jazz as well as 2 Big Band performances.
