By This Easter, Peermont is turning tradition on its head at Emperors Palace, with a bold new campaign built around one simple idea: you don’t go looking for the fun — the fun finds you.
From 3 to 6 April 2026, the Easter Royale will bring together entertainment, surprise experiences and celebrity energy in what is shaping up to be one of Johannesburg’s most talked-about long weekend experiences.
At the heart of the campaign is the concept “Where the Golden Egg Finds You”, a playful yet powerful idea that reimagines Easter as a series of unexpected, shareable moments. Whether it’s a surprise encounter, an interactive experience or a spontaneous burst of excitement, the experience is designed to unfold across the venue in ways that keep guests engaged throughout.
Adding star power to the weekend is a line-up of popular personalities from the SABC, whose involvement elevates the event from a seasonal promotion to a cultural moment.
Talent expected to be part of the experience includes:
• Somizi Mhlongo, bringing his signature flair to the festivities
• Mpho Popps, adding a comedic twist to the Easter experience
• Zanele Potelwa and Kuhle Adams, sharing behind-the-scenes moments from the weekend
• Palesa Tembe, who will also play a role in capturing key moments and post-event storytelling
Guests can also expect to spot a few other familiar faces across the weekend, adding to the vibrant atmosphere and energy on the ground. With spontaneous moments, live experiences and a sense of surprise around every corner, visitors are encouraged to come through, explore and be part of the action as it unfolds.
Visitors can expect a vibrant mix of:
• Interactive Easter experiences, including roaming Easter Bunny engagements
• High-energy entertainment and live experiences
• Dining, leisure and social experiences across the complex
• A series of surprise-and-delight moments designed to be shared
“This campaign is about creating moments people don’t expect,” says Irvin Nkosi, Promotions and Entertainment Manager at Peermont. “Easter at Emperors Palace isn’t just something you attend — it’s something that happens to you.”
Beyond the entertainment, the Easter Royale forms part of Peermont’s broader strategy to position Emperors Palace as a fully integrated entertainment destination, where gaming, hospitality and live experiences come together in one place.
With a packed programme, high-energy experiences and something happening around every corner, this year’s Easter celebration promises a memorable long weekend for families, friends and entertainment seekers alike. Whether you’re planning ahead or simply following the moment, Emperors Palace is set to be one of Johannesburg’s go-to destinations this Easter.
