One united community

 

“The City of Cape Town wants to do our part to ensure greater recognition of culture and heritage. We want to celebrate what has become an integral part of Cape Town’s cultural landscape. Each year jazz lovers come together through their love of music. This event helps to bring us together in creating the kind of future we want for Cape Town; one of communities, united in a common goal, love or interest. The Cape Town International Jazz Festival is one such ‘common’ interest that can help us build a truly inclusive city while also providing a great platform for artists,” said the city's mayor, Patricia De Lille.

 

The official sponsor for the Cape Town International Jazz Festival 2014 is the Department of Arts and Culture. Other sponsors include Brandhouse, South African Tourism, City of Cape Town, the Western Cape Government and Peninsula Beverages.
