Last weekend, the City of Gold lit up once again with good vibes all around. From boogying to Brazilian beats at Hotel Sky’s Boogie Bingo, to climbing 948 steps for The Ponte Challenge’s epic skyline views, Joburgers showed up and showed out. Art lovers got creative at The Creatory’s Stitch-themed Paint & Sip, while vinyl fans in Soweto dug deep at the Record Fair at Native Rebels. Cassper Nyovest brought the house down at Silverstar Casino, and night markets in Alberton glowed with food, fun and winter flair. Not to forget the Alchemy Theatre’s mystery dinner in the East and soulful connections at Wise Woman in Kyalami.
