Festive Lights switch-on: road closures reminder
24 November 2023
The City reminds the public to be mindful of road closures and other related logistics associated with the much-anticipated Festive Lights Switch-On (FLSO) event this Sunday, 26 November 2023.
The Festive Lights switch-on event is expected to draw an 80 000+ crowd to the Grand Parade and surrounds on Sunday, 26 November 2023.
Some road closures will be in effect from tomorrow, Saturday, 25 November 2023, with additional closures on event day.
The full list of road closures is available here: https://bit.ly/3sSMe9M
The road closures on Sunday will impact services on several MyCiTi routes, including the Route 106 which will deviate via Strand Street. The bus will therefore miss the Groote Kerk stop in both directions.
All of the MyCiTi deviations are available here: https://bit.ly/3MU2Cxw

The artist line up for the event includes Cassper Nyovest, Focalistic, Ricky Vani Frontline, Matthew Mole, Alistair Izobell, RAAF, the Tjommies, Whitney April, the Ikamva Marimba Band and Yonwaba Qetswana.
Concert-goers can also expect to be kept entertained by DJ Eazy and special guest, nine-year-old DJ Sophia, as well as the winners of the FLSO dance challenge:
- Born Spartans from Kraaifontein
