An energetic and entertaining line-up has been finalised for Cape Town’s biggest street party of the year, including Mi Casa, Emo Adams, Will Linley, Abavuki, Sasha-Lee and more.
The annual Festive Lights Switch-On, which celebrates the official turning on of the Festive Lights in Adderley Street, Cape Town will take place on Sunday 27 November. Back with great enthusiasm, and on the theme “Cape Town: City of Hope”, the City’s annual festive lights switch-on will have the Grand Parade singing and dancing to the sounds of an energetic line-up of South Africa’s best entertainers and crowd favourites as they welcome the start of summer.
“The event promises to be a party that will appeal to the whole family,” said Executive Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis.
“We are looking forward to an afternoon and evening of festive fun, with an amazing line-up and, of course, the highlight of the evening, the official switch-on moment, will be followed by a fabulous and colourful video display that will illuminate the City Hall and surrounding buildings with a depiction of Cape Town’s unique and compelling story of hope and resilience.”
The line-up for 2023, as in years past, speaks to a diverse audience with a little something for everyone.
“We are so excited about staging this event once again,” said Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security JP Smith.
“It really is a massive highlight on the City’s events calendar, and also for thousands of our residents who make this part of their year-end social excursions.
“I think the line-up will strike a chord with everyone, whether young or old, and it really should be a stellar event, as we have become accustomed to.”
