FESTIVE fever is kicking in and a few fun outdoor events will start this weekend to help set the December mood.
Here’s a look at some events to consider:
BOTANIC GARDENS TRAIL OF LIGHTS (December 3 to 24)
THE Durban Botanic Gardens Trail of Lights is back.
With lighting displays, an illuminated trail winds its way through Africa’s oldest surviving botanic garden, providing a magical experience.
Follow the trail along the garden’s paths through the trees and landscape, which will be spectacularly lit. Meet the festive characters scattered along the trail and visit their famous food garden, with loads more entertainment on offer.
Embracing the season of giving, the Durban Botanic Gardens Trust has included KZN based charities, who will be involved in the event and raise funds for their causes. All the proceeds raised from these activations go directly towards their causes.
The 2021 chosen charities include Feeding the Furballs, Hero777, Saambr, The Reach for a Dream Foundation, Rainbows and Smiles and more.

OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT (December 3)
Movie Boyz will present an outdoor screening of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle at the Morningside Sports Club on December 3.
According to the movie’s plot, the tables are turned as four teenagers in detention are sucked into the world of Jumanji. When they discover an old video game console with a game they have never heard of, they are immediately thrust into the game’s jungle setting, into the bodies of their avatars. The cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan.
Food stalls will be available, or picnic baskets will be welcome.
