Cosmic Rush: Get Ready for Our Local Is Lekker UV Party
This Heritage Day weekend, Rush is turning up the colour, the music and the energy with Cosmic Rush, our Local is Lekker UV Party for tweens, teens and older kids.
Think glowing neon, South African-inspired colours and patterns, amapiano beats, local hits, big jumps, bigger moves and an atmosphere made for kids who want to kick off the school holidays in style.
Heritage Day falls on Thursday the 24th of September and public schools finish the third term on Wednesday the 23rd of September. This makes Saturday the 26th of September the perfect time to round up the crew and celebrate the start of the holidays.
Local is Lekker With a Cosmic Vibe
South Africa is colourful, creative, energetic and wonderfully diverse, and Cosmic Rush brings that spirit to life with a UV twist.
At our Local is Lekker UV Party, expect a high-energy evening inspired by the colours of South Africa, bold flag details, bright prints and playful local references. It is about showing up proudly South African, having fun with your look and celebrating the sounds, style and confidence that make our country unforgettable.
Encourage your teen or tween to get creative. Think neon green, gold, red, blue, black and white colours. Think colourful accessories, glow details and bold local patterns. If it shines under UV lights and shows off their personality, it belongs at Cosmic Rush.
There will also be a Best Dressed competition, so this is their chance to bring the outfit, own the theme and stand out for all the right reasons.
The Ultimate School-Holiday Kick-Off
Parents know that the end of term brings one big question: how do you keep the kids entertained once the holidays begin?
Cosmic Rush is the answer. It gives teens, tweens and older children an exciting evening out with friends in a high-energy indoor environment. Instead of a night on the couch or a group chat trying to decide what to do, they can bounce, play, dance, compete and make memories together.
The event combines the action Rush is famous for with a party atmosphere created especially for older kids. It is social, active and packed with moments that are far more fun when shared with friends.
What can you expect at the Local is Lekker Cosmic Rush Party?
Cosmic Rush is designed to keep the energy high from the first track to the final jump. This night, with a local is lekker flare, will include:
- UV lighting, neon colour and proudly South African party energy.
- Dodgeball action for friendly competition and team spirit.
- Dance-offs for kids ready to show off their best moves.
- Prizes throughout the evening.
- A best dressed competition for the brightest, boldest and most creative Local Is Lekker looks.
Rush is built for active fun, with indoor trampolines, climbing walls and dodgeball activities that give kids room to move, challenge themselves and enjoy time with friends. Cosmic Rush adds the soundtrack, glow and social buzz that make it a memorable school-holiday event.
