SUNDAY BREE

Weekly Street Experiment

Cape Town, Western Cape

We all belong to streets

Sunday Bree is a weekly car-free experiment that will take place every Sunday from 5 October 2025 to 29 March 2026. Each week, Bree Street, between Wale and Strand, together with parts of Shortmarket Street, will be closed to private cars and opened up for people between 10 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon. The street will be transformed into a safe, welcoming space for walking, cycling, skating, playing and connecting in the heart of Cape Town. It is both a community celebration and a living experiment in what happens when streets are designed for people rather than cars.

Sunday Bree is about shifting the way Cape Town thinks about its streets. For six months, Bree Street becomes a weekly showcase of how public space can serve people, not just cars. It is a demonstration that safer, more vibrant streets are possible, affordable, and within reach when communities, businesses and the city work together.
