The City’s annual switch-on of the festive lights in Adderley Street at 20:00 on Sunday, 4 December 2011 promises to be an afternoon of memorable family entertainment.
The Executive Mayor, Alderman Patricia de Lille, will switch on the lights in South Africa’s largest annual free open-air event, officially kicking off the summer festive season. The event will include a star-studded concert at the Cape Town Station Forecourt from 15:00 – 20:00.
This year’s performance line-up includes Hip Hop Pantsula, Jozi, The Boyz, Ruffest, Heavenly Quartez, Heal the Hood Hip-Hop Showcase, Larry Joe, Die Campbells, Lady Liscious (ex-La Vuvuzela) and the Festive Lights Showcase – an ensemble led by Camillo Lombard and featuring leading Cape Town musicians and vocalists including Karen Kortje, Alistair Izobell and Loukmaan Adams.
Besides the concert, there will be a range of entertainment including a carnival parade with floats, live performances and appearances by some of the leading television and radio personalities from Cape Town and South Africa. Look out for the live recycling session where recycled objects will be on sale to the public.
