Scorpion Kings FNB concert tickets sell out in a record-breaking seven daysThere are family festivals, and then there is the Magical Marble Family Festival , a dreamy wonderland that managed to pull off something rare.
It entertained children while making parents feel completely at ease. Held over Mother’s Day weekend at Johannesburg’s beautiful James & Ethel Gray Park, the inaugural event transformed the lush green space into a living storybook. It was bursting with music, colour, imagination and thoughtful details around every corner. But beyond the dazzling attractions and celebrity appearances, one thing stood out more than anything else.

From the moment parents booked tickets through Howler, organisers required guardians to input detailed information about their children.
This included names, ages, medical details, guardian contacts and an emergency contact not attending the festival.
