Last updated: 8 April 2025

Tulbagh Christmas in Winter is that once-a-year family time remembered forever. The main street in this dorpie comes alive with Christmas lights and decorations, a festive craft market, gluhwein stalls, and an Enchanted Forest where kids can play hide and seek with Santa.

It’s happening Friday 27 June to Sunday 29 June 2025. See everything to expect (including what’s new, like Santa's glamping villages).
