Which annual Cape Town New Year's Eve event is traditionally held at the V&A Waterfront?

The annual Cape Town New Year's Eve event traditionally held at the V&A Waterfront is New Year's Eve at the V&A Waterfront.

Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is a major harbor precinct with restaurants, shops, public spaces, and views toward Table Mountain. Its New Year's Eve program has used performances, entertainment, and midnight celebrations to attract visitors and residents to the waterfront.

The name V&A refers to Queen Victoria and her son Prince Alfred, who visited the Cape in the nineteenth century. The precinct developed around the working harbor and became a major tourism and leisure destination while retaining maritime activity.

This event is distinct from the Cape Town Carnival, which is a separate annual cultural parade and performance event. It is also distinct from Kaapse Klopse, the Cape Town minstrel carnival traditionally associated with January 2. Those events can all involve music and costumes, but they are not interchangeable names for the waterfront New Year's celebration.
