Ballito’s Legendary New Year’s Eve Street Party

Brought to you by G&G Productions.

If partying with beautiful people, dancing to the hottest electronic dance music and gazing at the spectacular scenery of the Ballito coastline is your idea of the perfect way to spend the last night of 2013, then you need to be at the Samsung GALAXYexperience and 5FM’s New Year’s Eve street party at the Village Centre in Ballito.

Now in its ninth year, this year’s party is entitled ‘Get Ready To Jump’ and will feature Ibiza resident DJ Danny Avila, along with a 5FM powerhouse line-up that includes Gareth Cliff, Roger Goode, DJ Milkshake and more.

DJ prodigy Danny Avila has a true talent for reading the dance floor and was recognized by the industry as ‘Best Newcomer DJ’ when he was just 16.
Now, at the grand old age of 19, Danny Avila has become one of the hottest acts in the world of EDM. With an incredible Ibiza season last year, he caught the attention of everyone including Tiësto and dance bible DJ Mag where he became the youngest ever Covermount CD artist. With acclaimed debut sets at Coachella, Ultra Music Festival and inclusion in Billboard, MTV and Dancing Astronaut’s 2013 Ones To Watch lists, Avila is the name on everyone’s lips – and rightly so.

Enjoy his flair and genius live at SA’s biggest New Year’s Eve party with five sensational dance floors and a hugely impressive DJ line-up. On the main floor is 5FM’s ever-popular Gareth Cliff, eccentric dance maestro Roger Goode and Hip Hop phenomenon Milkshake. SA’s favourite dance duo, Pascal & Pearce Ian Credible and Kyle Worde will also tear up the decks. The VIP Crush Floor will host Veranda Panda, Jamie K, G-Funk whilst the Beat Burra Floor features Bhashkar, Brent Crude, Woody.

Samsung will be offering their Galaxy device users some amazing experiences on the night at the event as well as offering all Facebook fans of Samsung Mobile South Africa the opportunity to purchase exclusive tickets to the legendary event at half price on their Facebook page.

So after a day at the beach getting that bronze tan you always wanted, why not show it off under the illumination of Samsung Galaxy Experience’s massive firework display whilst grooving to some banging tunes.

If it’s Durban and it’s December… it has to be Trail of Lights time!

CELEBRATION is this year’s theme for South Africa’s largest and most popular festive light extravaganza! Celebrating eight years of brilliant awe and wonder, this year’s luminous event offers a double-whammy to visitors – the Durban Botanic Gardens is proud to mark their 175th anniversary milestone, in collaboration with the Durban Botanic Gardens Trust and the Trail of Lights, which is the Trust’s biggest annual fundraiser.

Bringing enchantment and joy to visitors of all ages in Africa’s oldest surviving botanic garden, the show runs from 6 December 2024 to 3 January 2025. Organisers are promising a host of sparkling new attractions, from a re-imagined Santa’s Workshop and Grotto and Build-A-Bear Workshop, to a variety of themed areas, including the iconic Whale Tails created by SAAMBR (SA Association of Marine Biology Research).

The popular Paws and Claus evenings are also back in the mix for 2024, with the nights of 8 and 12 December earmarked for when visitors can bring along their ‘fur babies’ (sorry, dogs only), to join in the festive fun! Ticket sales from these evenings go to Feeding the Furballs charity. Tickets on the Paws and Claus nights are R50 per pet, when booked with a full-paying adult ticket.

While the technical and lighting teams have already started laying the groundwork for one of the City’s biggest seasonal events, visitors can start planning their holiday schedules around the enhanced offering the family-focused show will bring to all ages – from the really young, to the young at heart!

Entertainment and live music each evening
Festive characters and spectacular live ‘selfie spots’ across the Gardens
Two food gardens offering food and beverages to suit every palate
Mail off your Christmas Wish List at the North Pole Mailbox
Festive shopping with some of Durban’s most talented makers
Wheelchairs will be available to hire on a first come first served basis

Ticket prices range from R70 – R90 per person, depending on the time you visit and are available through Webtickets or at select Pick n Pay outlets.
Tickets are available at the door, subject to availability, at R120 pp (card payments only) and are limited, so early booking is advised in order to secure your preferred date. Pensioners tickets are R60 per person (Proof of ID required).

The Trail of Lights runs from 6 December 2024 to 3 January 2025 from 18:00-22:00 each evening and will be closed on 9, 10, 11, 25 & 31 December.

Field Notes (an exhibition): 1 – 17 November 2024

Field Notes (an exhibition)
Presented by Contemporary Archive Project
Opening: 1 November 2024 at 6 PM
Venue: The Chairman, Durban.

In the province of KwaZulu-Natal, stories are marked like pins scattered across a map. These pins cluster in the city of eThekwini or are more sparsely spread through the landscapes of Nquthu, Tugela, and Amaotana. By mapping out and noting where the photographs were made, the explorers’ tracks reveal a wide, eclectic range of stories, each reflecting individual narratives. In these collections, the photographers are the explorers of their own stories, presenting clips and field notes that present an Insider’s view.

Subverting old tropes of Outsiders looking in, disconnected from a culture or space, the photographs that make this exhibition present intimate representations of faith and religion, culture and rituals, life and death, solitude and community. The collective way of seeing a city and space are all informed by each photographer’s way of seeing.
In this gathering, we present moments from each photographer’s archive. Guided by the visual connections of the photographs, the exhibition’s content invites you to reflect on the themes of fragility, power, togetherness, and the significance of the spaces we call home.

The group exhibition features work from CAP’s archive, inclusive of:
Andile Ndunge, Andre Swart, Mandisa Buthelezi, Myllo Menorah, Niamh Walsh-Vorster, Paulo Menezes, Robyn Perros, Seraz Abrahams, Sibusiso Gcaba, and Thobani Khumalo.
This exhibition is made possible by the National Lotteries Commission.

Jeremy Loops brings more than just his live performance magic—he’s back with brand-new music!
His latest single, “Go Again,” gives fans a fresh anthem to vibe to before the show. Featuring his signature blend of soulful lyrics and upbeat melodies, “Go Again” is an empowering track about facing life’s challenges head-on.
