September 2021
We live in a city with such vibrant cultures, and on Friday, 24th September, Heritage Day, we can come together to celebrate our diversity. Heritage Day is a day to honour our rich history, 11 languages, artistic expression in music and the arts, and the great food we enjoy. Yes, that’s why we also call it ‘Braai Day’. There's no disputing that we live in one of the country's most culturally diverse cities, so come spend the day with us exploring Cape Town, and don't forget to bring your South African spirit with you.
