IT’S ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR THIS WEEKEND’S GEORGE LIGHTS FESTIVAL IN PACALTSDORP

The organisers of the George Lights Festival happening this coming Saturday, 10 December 2022, released a jam-packed programme of this annual celebration that will, for the first time, take place at the Kaptein Dikkop Amphitheatre in Pacaltsdorp.

The four-pronged programme which will take place from 14:00 and 22:00 comprises the Kiddies Corner Activities, youth programme, classic programme, and main performance.

This is a celebration not to be missed as it will be fun-filled, and everyone has been catered for, from children to adults. There will be live performances by local artists, food stalls, arts and crafts stalls and a kiddie’s corner. Bring your family, neighbours, and friends as we officially switch on the lights and reign in the festive season.
