The Durban Botanic Gardens came alive this weekend for the annual Trail of Lights extravaganza, back after a three-year Covid-19 interruption.
Hundreds of happy Durbanites poured into the Gardens on Friday evening, when the gates opened to reveal the City’s historical gardens alive with a million LED-powered lights of every shape and colour. Many new lighting displays have been added and never-before seen areas of the Botanic Gardens have been opened up for The Secret Garden. Snap your own selfie with Santa at his amazing Grotto. Give back at the Charity-run Santa’s Workshop where 10 charities are raising funds for those less fortunate and shop ‘local’ at our Festive Market selling proudly local products. There’s plenty to eat and drink at two Food Gardens and 35 outlets with live entertainment each evening. Bring your dogs along to share in the fun on the two Paws & Claus Evenings on 4 & 11 December. The event runs from 2nd Dec 2022 - 2nd Jan 2023. Photo: SANDILE NDLOVU (SANDILE NDLOVU)

The Durban Botanic Gardens came alive on Friday for the annual Trail of Lights extravaganza, back after a three-year interruption due to Covid-19.
Hundreds of happy Durbanites poured into the historical gardens - lit up with a million LED-powered lights of every shape and colour - to snap selfies.
Many new lighting displays have been added and never-before seen areas of the botanic gardens have been opened up for The Secret Garden.
The light exhibition features Santa at his grotto, food stalls, live entertainment and a festive market.
Dog lovers can bring their furbabies to two Paws & Claus evenings on December 4 and 11. The event runs until January 2.
