Each week, we bring you a round-up of the city's best events in an easy-to-read list, or explore our events listings below. For a personal update, sign up or our weekly What's On in Joburg newsletter.

From art exhibitions, and art events, to food and drinks, kid's stuff, markets and fairs, music, nightlife, and what's on at the theatre to the best events and activities to get you outdoors, you'll find it all in our weekly round-up here

Like any busy city, Joburg has its own rhythm and some days are a lot busier than others. Weekly events are always a great time out. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays are when bars and restaurants are busiest, especially during the first and last weekends of the month – see our guide to First Thursdays and other Joburg firsts or visit neighbourhoods like Rosebank for the widest choice of nightlife or explore some of the best event series' that keep you going back for more. On Saturdays and Sundays food and craft markets are among the most popular afternoon hangouts, and if you plan to head to a restaurant on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night, best make a reservation. For film buffs, explore the city's cinema scene or find entertainment and wonder on stage with productions ranging from ballet to opera. If you're looking for fun for the kids or family-friendly activities for everyone, you're in luck.
