The Cape Town minstrel carnival takes place at the beginning of the new year. It involves over 40 troupes and +1,000 total members competing for a variety of titles (from best dressed team to drum major). The carnival has been active since the 19th century. It is thought that the first New Year Carnival troupe was organised in 1887.
