CHRISTMAS MARKETS

 Christmas celebrations start earlier in South Africa: from the beginning of December, concerts fill the evenings, lights illuminate the streets and Christmas markets take place all over the country, both in small villages and in big cities. 

Handmade decorations, handicrafts and tempting culinary treats are some of the many items that can be found in the markets of Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and even those held next to wineries and vineyards.

The markets are distinguished by the sale of lights, Christmas clothes and toys, you can find dances in the streets as well as entertainment shows

Cape Town: Christmas carols and solidarity

Imagen
 For more than 20 years, Kirstenbosch Carols by candlelight have been the beginning of the Christmas celebration. Held in the magnificent Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, this event is the most popular in the city and runs for four nights (13-16 December).  It is the flagship fundraising project of the Kirstenbosch Rotary Club, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2018. Each night features a lineup of well-known local groups, while the Cape Town Concert Brass and Male Voice Choir is the main attraction.  Visitors wait for their favorite songs to play and enjoy typical food while thousands of lights illuminate the evening sky. This year, for the first time, there will also be Christmas-themed stalls. By Diaz Ortiz Edwin Uriel
