Momo’s Magical Adventure Returns with a Cosmic Twist
The beloved children’s theatre production, Momo’s Magical Adventure, makes its triumphant return from 5 December 2024 to 5 January 2025. This year’s award-winning show, in partnership with Standard Bank Private, takes audiences on a cosmic journey featuring starlit skies, underwater magic, and celestial companions like Bertie-Stargazer the Unicorn and Polly the Northern Star. Performed in a custom-designed theatrical tent in the Centre Court outside Checkers, this immersive experience is a must-see for families seeking holiday enchantment.
Spectacular Festive Décor
Sandton City has outdone itself with breathtaking festive decorations this year. Highlights include a stunning illuminated balloon in the Protea Court, a glass façade adorned with over 20 3D elements, and an animated cone tree on Rivonia Road. These dazzling displays are perfect for a holiday photo-op or an evening stroll through a winter wonderland.
