No braai no cry: Things to do in Cape Town on Heritage Day (The South African)

Take a look at ways to celebrate Heritage Day in the Mother City and surrounds: From Sophiatown swing to pool parties and family market fun.

On Saturday, you can have a roosterkoek on the fire with plenty more drink specials. In true Strolla style, it is hosting a spring pool party for the launch of its newly renovated restaurant and Heineken Deck. Cook, sip wine, chat or just be a part of the day’s festivities. Here is something in the West Coast. Join tractor rides and tour the world-class interactive Heritage Centre. If you are lookin for some variation on the braai theme though, there is a multitude of other activities on offer in the Mother City over the weekend. There’s a kids zone with face-painting, arts-and-crafts activities, plus live traditional music and interactive drumming. Here is something for the whole family! The market will feature a youth entrepreneurs corner, and all children under 12 are invited to showcase their wares, goods or skills. There’s a 10km race for those who want to push themselves, or if you prefer a more relaxed and fun run, you can join the 5km race. Heritage Day is all about celebrating our unique culture and what it means to be South African. Time to get out your boardshorts or bikini for this event at Strolla.
