Music on the Square – Classics & Carols is an open-air Christmas concert at Melrose Arch’s central square, blending orchestral favourites with sing-along festive tunes in a stylish urban setting.
A live orchestra and guest vocalists perform well-known classical pieces alongside beloved carols, creating an elegant yet accessible evening of music under the Joburg summer sky.
The experience forms part of Melrose Arch’s broader Destination Christmas programme, with the square dressed in lights and décor, restaurants spilling onto the pavements, and audiences encouraged to arrive early to dine or enjoy drinks before the 18:00–20:00 performance.
Tickets are sold per person (around R300), and the vibe leans “all-white chic,” inviting guests to dress up and make a night of it with friends, family, or date-night company.
