Emperors Palace kick-starts the festive season with Garden of Lights
Emperors Palace is getting ready to host the 10th annual Garden of Lights, which is a magical festive season event that guarantees to light up Gauteng skies between December 8 and January 3.
The Garden of Lights was created to spread festive cheer through spectacular light displays, colourful characters, fun fair rides and delicious food offerings.
The Garden of Lights will take place in the gardens of the Peermont D’oreale Grande hotel.
“Over the years the Garden of Lights has welcomed over 1.3-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 mom and dad 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 The Cancer Association of South Africa and the Peermont Children’s and Education Trusts.
“With so many families affected by cancer in one way or another, it is vital to raise awareness and we are proud to be associated with this heart-warming cause. Similarly, many South Africans are unable to afford education for their children and by donating proceeds to children in disadvantaged areas of the Ekurhuleni, everyone plays a part in creating a brighter future for those less fortunate,” Tavener concluded.
Not only will families be mesmerised by the lights display, children will also have an opportunity to take pictures with Mrs Claus, The Magical Fairy, Frosty the Snowman, Santa’s Special Elves and Emperors Palace’s very own Garden Princess.
