Park Square Umhlanga is leaning fully into the spirit of the season with its Holly Jolly Christmas Show, an annual highlight that blends family fun, festive music, and community giving.
On Thursday, 18 December at 18:30, the centre transforms into a lively Christmas hub, offering an evening designed to bring people together—kids, parents, neighbours, and anyone who loves this time of year.
The event is free to attend, with one simple request: bring an unwrapped gift valued at R100 for an underprivileged child. It’s a small gesture that carries real impact, turning a night of celebration into something meaningful beyond the festive lights.
- The lineup is cheerful and charming from start to finish. Children can dive into fun arts and crafts, giving them something creative to bring home (or show off immediately). A special Father Christmas reading promises wide-eyed smiles and that unmistakable December magic. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Christmas show without carols and local performances, filling the square with music that just feels like the season.
Park Square’s Holly Jolly Christmas Show isn’t about big productions or over-the-top spectacle—it’s about warmth, connection, and building a sense of community through shared moments. The gift donation adds a thoughtful layer, reminding attendees that even a small act of giving can brighten someone else’s Christmas in a big way.
For families looking for an outing that’s festive, meaningful, and easy to enjoy, Park Square’s event is an ideal way to slip into the holiday mood. The combination of twinkling lights, live music, and cheerful faces never fails to set the tone for the days that follow.
So gather the kids, pick out a gift, and head to Park Square on the 18th. It’s Christmas, after all—and celebrations feel better when shared.
