Join Iziko Museums of South Africa for Izi-Women 2026 – an extraordinary, full-day festival of inspiration, sisterhood, and celebration.
Rooted in the fierce legacy of the historic 1956 Women’s March, this day is a powerful tribute to the icons who paved the way, and an electric investment in the resilience, leadership, and brilliant future of the women of today.
On Saturday, 8 August 2026, we are taking over three of Cape Town’s most iconic heritage sites for a beautifully curated journey of holistic wellness, transformative dialogue, and soul-stirring music.
More than an event – a space to recharge, refresh and rejuvenate. Your seat is ready – join this collective awakening.
