Bellville’s heartbeat is returning to its parks! On 6 December 2026, Summer in the Suburbs – I LOVE CY Park Festival brings Jack Muller Park back to life as an open-air space where families, friends and music lovers can reconnect and gather to celebrate the culture that shaped the Northern Suburbs.
Hosted by the Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP), the festival forms part of its better. bellville. together. placemaking initiative, a commitment to restoring public spaces as centres of community life.
Headliners include Fokofpolisiekar, Early B and Margot Rothman, leading a diverse line-up of homegrown talent that honours Bellville’s musical legacy. Across one uplifting afternoon, the community can look forward to live performances, food trucks and the unmistakable energy of people reclaiming shared spaces.
At its core, this festival is about more than a single event. With the ambition of becoming an annual celebration, it represents a future where parks once again become a stage, every suburb a cultural hub, and every resident a co-creator of vibrant public places they are proud to call their own.
LOCAL MUSIC IS BETTER. TOGETHER.
