Cape Town festive season lights switch on

"Christmas time, mistletoe and wine" and "Mary’s Boy Child" are all fond reminders that "‘Tis the Season to be jolly". Although our festive season may not have the charm of blankets of snow and Christmas carollers singing in the streets, we have a unique celebration, an annual festivity to get us into the full festive season swing. On Sunday the 2nd of December 2012 the festive season lights in Adderley Street will be switched on at the Grand Parade in Cape Town’s city centre. This year our very own Mother Mountain has given us even more reason to celebrate for she will officially be inaugurated by The City of Cape Town for her recent honor as one of the New7Wonders of Nature. The festival will kick off at 3pm and continue

Eastern Food Bazaar Cape Town

30 June, 2009 by Dirkus 9 Comments

Quite a few of us Brutal Reviewers braced the cold recently, to take in the sights, sounds and most importantly, the exotic foods on offer at "The Eastern Food Bazaar" in Cape Town.
