The brand new Joburg Zoo Festival of Lights, featuring a delightful collection of illuminated life-size animal characters, as well as a food and craft night market, will entertain visitors to the zoo from December 1 to January 5.
Open from 7pm to 10pm daily (except Mondays), patrons can enjoy a tranquil walk in the zoo on a designated lit route away from the animals enclosures under trees decorated in captivating lights.
“We are working closely with the animal welfare and conservation staff to ensure that the decibels for entertainment and lights are monitored to ensure that there is no discomfort to the animals at all times,” says Nonhlanhla Sifumba, MMC for Community Development at The City of Johannesburg.
The Joburg Zoo Festival of Lights will kick off with a classical performance of The Nutcracker by Joburg Ballet at the Bandstand at the zoo, from December 1 to 8. The entertainment, thereafter, will vary on a daily basis, offering an outdoor nightlife experience for families by providing an upmarket festival of lights, paired with exceptionally exquisite flavours of food and beverage offerings for all ages.
