Johannesburg’s favourite outdoor music celebration is back — and it’s bigger than ever! The 12th annual ParkLive Festival is set to take over Marks Park in Emmarentia on Saturday, 18 October 2025, promising a full day of live music, sunshine, and festival magic.
This year’s line-up is a showstopper, featuring some of South Africa’s most loved artists. Expect unforgettable performances from Matthew Mole, Shekhinah, The Parlotones, Freshlyground, Ross Learmonth, Ben Rodrigues, and SaxbyTwins, with even more acts still to be announced.
From soul-stirring acoustic sets to singalong hits and dance-floor anthems, ParkLive 2025 is bringing all the energy you need to celebrate spring in style.
But it’s not just about the tunes — ParkLive is a full-on lifestyle experience. Between sets, festivalgoers can explore the curated food and beverage village, filled with gourmet street eats, refreshing craft drinks, and sweet treats to keep the good times rolling.
Whether you’re lounging on the lawns with friends or dancing the day away, it’s the perfect fusion of beats and bites.
Since its debut, ParkLive has earned its place as a must-do event on Joburg’s social calendar, drawing thousands of locals and visitors every year for a day of community, creativity, and connection.
So, grab your sunnies, gather your crew, and get ready for a day that celebrates everything we love about live music and outdoor living.

From the food stalls to the headliners, this one’s shaping up to be the festival of the season. It is everything we love to write about at Hello Lifestyle!
There’s something undeniably magical about the ritual of holiday coffee. The quiet hush of Christmas morning before the festivities begin. The clink of glasses on Christmas Eve as friends linger a little longer, revelling in the final stretch of the year. This season, Nespresso is elevating those moments with a vibrant, African-inspired festive range that turns every sip — morning or midnight — into something special.

December in South Africa is pure magic. From glittering city precincts to botanical gardens illuminated after dark, the festive season brings a sense of wonder that pulls families, couples, and holiday-makers into the glow. If you’re looking for the most spectacular Santa Villages, Christmas markets, and light displays to explore this month, here’s your definitive guide — spanning Joburg, Pretoria, Durban, and Cape Town.
There’s a certain kind of afternoon that cities like New York, Cape Town — and now Johannesburg — do so well: it begins with a lunch date, continues with a bottle of bubbly (or two), and somehow drifts into golden hour without anyone noticing. The Greenhouse Restaurant & Bar in Sandton, long celebrated as Joburg’s most atmospheric supper club after dark, is now capturing that same magic by day. And to celebrate the launch of its new daytime offering, we’re giving one lucky reader the chance to experience it firsthand with a Friendsmas Lunch for Four valued at R2,000.
