70s and 80s
Celebrated as one of Botswana’s iconic themed events in the calendar year, the 70’s and 80’s event has drawn people from all walks of life in the past 15 years, ranging from music lovers, fashion enthusiasts and party goers. Grand Palm stated that this year's event promises to be bigger and better surpassing all the disco events they have held before. “The Grand Palm Hotel Casino and Convention Resort proudly announces its highly anticipated 70’s and 80’s throwback party. This year's event is especially momentous as it commemorates 15 remarkable years of unforgettable music, entertainment and community celebration,” Malebogo Motlaleng said through a statement. In addition, she said this year's event is all about creating a different experience for their patrons that they have never got in the previous events.
“We are beyond excited to mark 15 years of this legendary event; it's more than just a party. It's a beloved tradition,” she said. As the event is aimed at turning back the hands of the clock, the 70’s and 80’s event will aim at creating an atmosphere for senior citizens to feel nostalgic and reminisce the good old days when they were in their youth years. “Attendees are invited to dust off their bell bottoms, shine their platform shoes, and dress to impress in true vintage style for a night that promises pure nostalgia,” it stated. “This hallmark event, firmly rooted in the hearts of many, will deliver an electrifying blend of classic hits, live performances, and show stopping visuals that pay tribute to the golden eras of disco, funk and retro pop culture,” said Motlaleng. As attendees are expected to look the part with their vintage looks, the theme for the event is from the soulful rhythms of the 70’s to the bold beasts of the 80’s. The dress code is iconic 70’s and 80’s celebrity glam. There is no event without musical performances, and Grand Palm promises a packed line-up that will blow the night away for the attendees
