Emperors Palace kick-starts the festive season with the dazzling Garden of Lights
The Garden of Lights will take place in the gardens of the Peermont D’oreale Grande hotel at Emperors Palace.
Emperors Palace is getting ready to host the 11th annual Garden of Lights, a magical festive season event that guarantees to light up Gauteng skies between November 30 and January 2.
The Garden of Lights was created to spread festive cheer through spectacular light displays, colourful characters, fun fair rides and delicious food offerings.
“Over the years the Garden of Lights has welcomed over 1.4 million visitors, and promises to welcome countless more with the fantastic family-friendly activities we have planned for this year,” said Clive Tavener, general manager for Emperors Palace.
“The Garden of Lights is our way of bringing back the days when parents would bundle the whole family into the car to go and see the Christmas lights in town.”
Visitors to the Garden of Lights will be delighted to know that proceeds from the R25 entrance fee will be donated to Reach for a Dream and the Peermont Children’s and Education Trusts.
And in celebration of the resort’s 20th birthday, a further R200 000 will be donated to 20 charities that its employees support.
Not only will families be mesmerised by the spectacular lights display, but children will also have an opportunity to take pictures with Santa Claus, the Enchanted Fairy, Gift the Present, the Gingerbread Man, Frosty the Snowman, Santa’s Special Elves and Emperors Palace’s very own beautiful Garden Princess.
If that’s not enough, for the first time in South Africa, illusionist Ryan Sharp will present his show The Magic of Christmas.
This promises to be an amazing show featuring grand scale illusion, ventriloquism, comedy magic, complimented with dazzling special effects and costumes will bring magic to children young and old.
The Garden of Lights will also feature a variety of fun-fair rides, including Jump and Smile, Break Dancer, Freeway Fantasy, Pirate Ship and everyone’s all-time favourite, the big Ferris Wheel that will be in located by the garden entrance from December 3.
The gates will be open from 7pm to 10pm daily, weather permitting.
