**Twee Rivieren** is a small residential suburb in [George](/source/George%2C_Western_Cape), [South Africa](/source/South_Africa). It is located in the northern area of the city between Denneoord to the north and Bo-dorp to the south. "Twee Rivieren" is a [Dutch](/source/Dutch_language) name, meaning "Two Rivers". Its name is derived from its location, nestled between two branches of the [Kat River](/source/Kat_River).

The suburb of Twee Rivieren, George, is home to two prominent churches, the [Dutch Reformed Church](/source/Dutch_Reformed_Church) "Moedergemeente", as well as the only Greek Orthodox Church in George, where services are still conducted in Greek.

A popular attraction in this suburb is the decoration of Oewer Street over the [Christmas](/source/Christmas) period. This has become an annual event since 2005 and has attracted many visitors who come to view the festive decorations and lights between Christmas and new year.
