It’s time to put up the tree and turn on the festive lights, and Nelson Mandela Square is poised to host its prettiest festive season yet. The celebrated open air piazza is where art and entertainment will merge beautifully for the whole family to enjoy this holiday.
A mesmerising 10-metre-long lighting tunnel has been illuminated, providing a picture-perfect backdrop for a festive-themed selfie or family photograph. This is complemented by the majestic 7,2-metre-tall Dior Christmas tree, adorned with bespoke craftsmanship and a touch of luxury. This magnificent creation is not just a tree. It’s a testament to the artistry and dedication that the couture brand brings to every aspect of its craftsmanship, featuring custom-made trinkets, PVC & gold vinyl flowers and lighting that creates a play of light and shadows, all topped with the signature Dior logo and star.
The Anton Smit Urban Echoes exhibition, featuring 8 larger-than-life Easter Island-inspired sculptures, with graffiti by artist Mars, is still available to enjoy, while live entertainment on selected dates during December, will add to the festive ambience, completing a memorable day or night out.
