Since 1994, the 12-hour MCQP party has been the biggest annual gay event in South Africa. The Mother City Queer Project, Cape Town's ultimate party, attracts a diverse crowd of people from around the world. Each year party-goers come in teams dressed according to the theme that changes every year (recent themes have included Toolbox and Flower Power). Costumes are usually elaborate, sexy and worn without inhibition, and the event is immensely popular with both gay and straight communities. Different dance arenas play various types of music to party the night away. This is Cape Town's biggest party of the year - not be missed! Tickets should be bought well in advance as admission numbers are limited.
