How to celebrate Heritage Day in the Free State

Heritage Day in South Ahh is never just one thing. It’s braais smoking, kids running around, music on full blast and plates stacked high. If you’re wondering how to celebrate Heritage Day this year, here are a few ideas to celebrate the day.

Make lunch the main event this Heritage Day

Every family’s got that one braaimaster. Lunch is ready when they say so, not when you’re hungry. By the time the meat hits the plate, you’ve already begged for “just a taste.” Or you could skip the wait and grab lunch at the best family restaurant in the Free State. No permission needed.

Take a road trip this Heritage Day

Heritage Day in the Free State could mean heading up Naval Hill in Bloem or stopping at the Voortrekker Monument in Winburg. You already know what to expect on the way to your destination: padkos opened before you hit the highway, the wide roads stretching forever, and the cooler box working double as a chair.

Wherever the road takes you, there’s a Wimpy at Engen waiting. Stop in for the meal you feel like, and earn points with our Rewards App for your next trip.

Share a story this Heritage Day

There’s always an uncle ready with a punchline and an aunt starting with “you know, when we were young.” The kids roll their eyes, but they’re listening. Give them stories of their own with Read with Wimpy: local storybooks in all 11 languages, perfect for Heritage Day.
