GEORGE NEWS AND VIDEO - Mayor Leon van Wyk switched on the Festive Lights at Unity Park tonight. 

The Electrotechnical team worked tirelessly to get the lights ready during wet and difficult weather conditions the past two weeks. 

Deputy Mayor Raybin Figland, councillors and Acting Municipal Manager Dr Michele Gratz, supported the mayor at the event.

According to a statement by George Municipality, "George Municipality wants to bring good cheer and signal the start of the festive season by switching on our Christmas lights. 

"Although no official event was planned for the official switching on of the lights this year, mainly due to Covid restrictions, the lights bring holiday cheer to tourists and residents alike.

"George is a holiday town and tourism destination for many and the Mayor of George and Council wish everyone a happy and safe festive season."
