Holiday entertainment for all ages at Silverstar Casino

Just aim the headlights of your car to the N14 and visit Silverstar Casino.

Headlining summer activities is the annual Beach Festival, and yes – it’s as fun as it sounds.

For the last four years, the Square has been transformed into a sandy oasis where kids can build sandcastles and parents can wind down. But for a real treat for under 18s tomorrow, the beach will host its Impulse U18 Festival.

Possibly the biggest and most unique under 18 event to hit Johannesburg, some of SA’s best DJs are set to liven up the space for a fun and unique outside music experience.

Biggy, Kyle Cassim, George Sax Ibiza Resident, Hapoly, Master Simz, Trademarc, Chunda Munki and Marc Stent are already on the list of performers.

There’s also an under 18 festival planned for January 10 in the new year.
