The weekend’s grey skies and rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of Muizenberg’s people. On Sunday October 15 they rolled up in fancy dress with broad smiles to take part in the parade – one of the events which signify the culmination of the two-week Muizenberg Festival. Flags, a fish, a chameleon and all manner of bright and beautiful beasts took to the streets and performances were given on the traffic circle near the beach, where the weather cleared and singers, dancers and mime artists claimed their moment in the sun.
