PHOTO ESSAY
Inner city comes alive with vibrant celebration of art and community at Hey Hillbrow!
In a vibrant celebration of community spirit, the Hey Hillbrow! Let’s Dlala! parade transformed the streets into a kaleidoscope of music, art, and eco-consciousness, proving that Hillbrow knows how to party with a purpose.
