We are spending the weekend and a bit at the Spa in Montagu. When we arrived at the town at about 19h30, the whole town was in the streets. People were braai-ing in the street, kids were running around and a sort-of impromptu market was formed. One could feel the excitement. We had dinner at a very nice restaurant (the VIC) and asked the staff what was happening. They told us that once a year Montagu switches on the Christmas lights and then every-one come and celebrate in the streets. We were fortunate to experience this - totally by chance.
