The spirit of Christmas came alive on the evening of 17 December as about 60 residents of all ages, accompanied by their four-legged companions, joined the Lighthouse2Lighthouse Ladies (L2L) for their annual “Liggies Loop”, a delightful community walk to admire the festive light displays in Hermanus.
The popular charity walk showcased the town’s Christmas splendour, featuring decorations installed by both the municipality and local businesses. Adding to the festive atmosphere was L2L’s own contribution from last year – a dolphin light that continues to shine brightly at Gearing’s Point, serving as a beacon of community spirit.
The highlight of the evening came at Ocean Basket, where generous L2L supporters Michele and Gideon Serfontein hosted the walkers with wine and nibbles. The hospitality was complemented by entertaining historical tales from local personality Brian McFarlane, whose amusing stories about Hermanus’s past had participants chuckling throughout the evening.
True to L2L’s charitable mission, all funds raised during the walk will benefit three local organisations for 2026: the Hermanus Senior Centre, Hermanus Animal Welfare Society and Silwerjare- dienssentrum. This reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to supporting vital community services.
