Unmissable: Sandton's Celebrations On The Square

Joburg Admin / December 15, 2025

12 December – 22 December | 4 pm – 9 pm

Nelson Mandela Square invites you to step into a refined festive escape this December with Celebrations on the Square, a boutique Christmas experience filled with sparkle, flavour and seasonal luxury.

What Can I Expect At Celebrations On The Square?

Celebrations on the Square redefines festive indulgence in the heart of Sandton. Hosted inside a custom-crafted glass marquee at Nelson Mandela Square, this exclusive Christmas meander offers a sophisticated space to sip, shop and spoil yourself.

Entry costs R75 per person, which includes a glass of Laurent-Perrier champagne and a sumptuous charcuterie board to enjoy while soaking up the atmosphere. To keep the experience intimate, entry is limited to 200 visitors per day.

Guests arrive through an elegant archway framed by luxury nutcrackers and step into a beautifully styled space. Soft Christmas touches will meet cosy lounge pockets and cocktail tables under the Square’s signature twinkling lights. Adding to the magic, a live violinist performs daily from 6 pm to 8 pm! Laurent-Perrier will also host tastings in their dedicated lounge, with champagne available to purchase.

Inside the marquee, browse a carefully curated selection of local and international boutique vendors. Expect farm produce and gifting from Babylonstoren, festive florals and wreaths by Veldmeisie and handcrafted confectionery from Oooh La La. You'll also enjoy bespoke glass décor from Casa LV, and Italian imports from Le Perline. Still can't find what you're looking for? Browse ceramics by Storm Ceramics, hand-poured candles from Chapters Home Fragrance, and elegant Christmas décor from the Grandiflora Christmas Shop.

Are you a foodie? If you're anything like us, then of course you are! Offerings include festive favourites from Lemoni Food Studio, traditional panettone, matcha from Matcha Pod, gelato from Gelato Mania, and quality brew from Kaldista Coffee Company. A curated selection of local cookbooks by Naqiyah Mayat and Angie Durrant makes gifting effortless, while Wrap It offers beautiful boutique packaging to finish things off in style.

With Instagrammable moments at every turn and a refined festive atmosphere, this is a must-visit seasonal experience.
