Silverstar is bringing you another installment of its winter spectacle, the Bavarian Christmas in July Festival. From 30 June to 2 July, The Globe will be transformed into a typical Bavarian town square over the Christmas season, complete with a traditional Oompah band. Warm up with mouth-watering foods, a comprehensive collection of cold beverages and great family entertainment.
Marketing Manager at Silverstar, Sanele Ntombela, said the festival will resemble the Christmas experience synonymous with many Western European countries, marked by the distinct sound of the tuba and trombone from the Oompah band.
“The line-up will also include great South African bands that will be bringing local flavour to the Christmas in July festivities. The Dixie Hillbillies, a local folk-rock band, as well as one of the hottest Afrikaans punk bands in the country, Beeskraal, will be providing great entertainment at the festival.”
Various food stalls with the best selection of Bavarian delicacies will be available. Feast on quality food such as Eisbein, bratwurst, roasted chestnuts, cheese pastries, home-made jams, freshly-made pancakes and breads.
An array of beers, ciders and gins will be on offer, and it goes without saying that a range of winter-warming Schnapps will also be available. For those who prefer a hot drink, you can indulge in some Gluhwein and rich hot chocolate laced with rum.
Children can enjoy a ride on the carousel, while other members of the family sample delicious offerings from the various exhibitors at the village market. Town square vendors will be offering various interesting gift selections as well as candle-making and glass-blowing workshops. Roaming buskers will add to the fun at the square, as they entertain and interact with the townsfolk.
