Gates open bright and early at 8am. There will be a light yoga session on the lawn at 9am, before a full day of music, food, nature and friends.
Different types of cuisine will be provided by a number of high-end vendors sourced from the top food and design markets in Johannesburg.
Nokia Rise & Shine, in association with Johannesburg City Parks, plant one tree for every 50 people who attend. The event raised 136 trees last year and helped to create a green footprint in South Africa.
