“The switching on of the festive lights in Adderley Street in the Cape Town central business district is a spectacular occasion marking the beginning of the festive season,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas. “This year will be extra special as life is returning to normal after the Covid-19 pandemic when we did not have the freedom to get together in big groups.”

“We know this event is extremely popular, and will add late night buses for residents travelling from Hout Bay and the metro-south east.’
The last bus trips will depart at 23:15 from either the Civic Centre station, or the station in Adderley Street.
“I encourage families to hop on the bus and enjoy the evening’s celebrations. It is an easy, safe, and convenient way of travelling to the CBD and back,” Quintas added.
Commuters will need a valid MyConnect card to make use of the service and are advised to always please check the schedules closer to the days they want to travel.
Various displays of lights (rope lights, LED bulbs) will be displayed across 15 different areas. Additionally, there will also be 90 small Christmas tree installations in various neighbourhoods around Cape Town to create a festive atmosphere for residents in their neighbourhoods too.
The Festive Lights Switch-On 2022 is free for all and takes place at the Grand Parade from 4pm on Sunday, 27 November.
All timetables and route information is also available here.
