MUCH to the relief of Durban residents, one of Durban’s most popular festive events will take place from December 2, 2022 to January 2, 2023. This year’s Trail of Lights at Durban’s legendary Botanic Gardens promises to be bigger, better and brighter than ever before!
“We are incredibly grateful to all our supporters, partners and suppliers, who not only encouraged us to push ahead in some difficult circumstances but pulled out all the stops to make this event a reality,” said event organiser Alene Naidoo. “For starters, the floods in April took a terrible toll on our beautiful gardens, and the landscaping team, led by Curator Martin Clement, has been working non-stop to ensure that the venue is in tiptop shape and ready to welcome visitors again.”
Festooned with thousands of lights, in the awe-inspiring lighting displays, buzzing with live entertainment; Santa’s Grotto; magical festive characters; charity-hosted Santa’s Workshop; KZN’s brightest Christmas tree; a special Secret Garden of Lights concealed within the trail; all new horticultural displays, and two fabulous food gardens – the Trail of Lights is back, bigger, better and brighter!
