How often don't you feel like doing something unusual over a weekend, but you don't know what's on or where to go? Online events calendars and sites are a great way to plan activities or events for the family, yourself and a loved one or even when you are going to be out of town for a while and don't want to just sit around in a guesthouse!
Here are a few of our favourites:
For those finding themselves in Cape Town -
www.48hours.co.za - also a print publication, this weekly entertainment guide for Cape Town and surrounds gives you a run-down of special events and activities as well as entertainment listed by categories. The benefits of such a locally focused site is that you can find activities and events which may be too obscure for country-wide guides.
Main attractions in the big cities -
www.whatson.co.za - What's On looks at events and entertainment in South Africa's big cities: Cape Town, Johannesburg (and Pretoria) and Durban. Categories include music, arts and culture, lifestyle, outdoor and leisure, and community, and based on an event you view, further events and activities are suggested in the sidebar - a very useful gadget to make sure you don't miss out on anything that may interest you. This site also offers a facility to bookmark an event in your Microsoft Outlook calendar.
Go big or go home -
www.eventsnow.co.za - This is a calendar and entertainment guide of note. You can search by location, date or category and if it's happening anywhere in South Africa, you are almost sure to find it here. With categories such as kids, courses and workshops, comedy, nature, food and wine, fashion, government and business events, nightlife and religious, along with all the ordinary categories, every possible interest or fancy is catered to! Not sure you can find your way to the event you've chosen? This site gives you GPS coordinates.
Why sit at home when there are such useful tools available to let you find good times and make memories?
