uMhlanga Summer Festival Charity Evening
Granada Square, Thursday 20 December 2018 from 6pm
The annual uMhlanga Summer Festival brings a myriad family-centred holiday activities to uMhlanga for the 2018 festive season for visitors and locals alike this December.
Understanding that the season is about goodwill, family and community, the theme for this year's festival is It's Cool to Care - with all aspects of the season aimed at caring for people and the planet.
The Beach Festival continues until Sunday 23 December where people are encouraged to participate and join in the fun and games on the uMhlanga Millennium Stage with daily activities planned around the main beach as well as on the stage from 10am until 2pm daily.
The Carols Under the Stars evening at Granada Square on Thursday 20 December takes place from 6pm until 7.30pm. The event takes place in the al-fresco courtyard square, literally under the stars. Getting the festive cheer rolling, sing along to favourites like Jingle Bells; Silent Night; Away in a manger; O Come all ye Faithful; We wish you a Merry Christmas and finally Santa Claus is coming to Town. Soloists include the wonderful Haylea Hounsom Heyns singing her new Christmas song; local song bird, Fazyln Naidoo; Shelley McLean's Cowan House Carolers; Tory du Plessis and her Cherry Blossom Studio Singers and dancers; and Mikey Mthaba AKA "The Human Voice Machine".
Father Christmas will be arriving in style riding on the back of a shiny Harley Davidson. Entry is free and all are welcome, however, participants are warmly encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy that will be gifted to an under privilege child, co-ordinated by Rotary uMhlanga.
Join in the Festivities.
