Potch Prepares for a Bright New Year at Impala - 31 December

Potchefstroom is set to bid farewell to 2025 with an electrifying bash as the Impala Hotel hosts its Impala UV New Year Bash on Wednesday, 31 December 2025. Forget your blighty notions of a quiet end-of-year; this party is all about shedding the mundane and embracing the glow.

The Glow-Up is Real

The Impala Potchefstroom, located at 70 Walter Sisulu Ln, is transforming itself into a UV (Glow) Party paradise. Guests are encouraged to rock up wearing white or neon gear to fully participate in the luminous atmosphere. The promise is an evening drenched in blacklights, featuring UV paint and glow décor, neon lighting, and high-energy beats designed to keep the dancefloor alive until the wee hours of 2026.

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to see how you look covered in glowing paint, this is your chance. The description states that the music will hit harder and the colours will shine brighter, suggesting a proper jol is on the cards.

Doors to the glowing spectacle open nice and early at 20:00. This gives attendees plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere, find their friends, and maybe apply a few coats of UV paint before the main event.

The Final Countdown

The main objective, naturally, is welcoming the new year. The countdown starts at 23:59, leading into what the organisers are hyping up as a “massive, electrifying countdown into 2026.” One assumes they mean “massive” in the sense of fun, not structural engineering. The goal is to make the first minute of 2026 unforgettable, which shouldn’t be too hard if you look like a walking glow stick.

So, Potch, grab your mates, find the brightest outfit you own, and get ready to shine. This looks like the right way to put a brilliant full stop on 2025.
