How to celebrate Heritage Day in Gauteng

Some say Heritage Day is all about the braai. Others turn it into a road trip, a big lunch or a full-on family hangout. However you do it, the day’s got flavour. Still wondering how to celebrate? We’ve got a few ideas worth trying this year.

Make lunch the main event this Heritage Day

Here’s what everyone knows about Heritage Day: the braaimaster decides when you eat. Until then, you’re hanging around the braai stand asking for “just a taste.” If you’ve got the kind of appetite that can’t wait, pull in at Mzansi’s favourite family restaurant. Famous Grills served hot, with zero smoke in your eyes.

Take a road trip this Heritage Day

Heritage Day in Gauteng might mean a visit to Constitution Hill or the Union Buildings. A city drive always comes with its own playlist: traffic chats, the backseat DJ switching from amapiano to gospel, and someone pointing out the same landmark every time.

Wherever you end up, there’s a Wimpy at Engen nearby. Grab the meal you want, and use the Rewards App to earn points while you’re at it.

Share a story this Heritage Day

Every Heritage Day table has its storytellers. Uncles stretching out the same tale, aunts adding extra details no one remembers. Make sure the kids get their say too. We’ve got local storybooks in all 11 languages, so little ones can enjoy Heritage Day their way.

From braais to road trips, Heritage Day looks different for everyone. However you celebrate, there’s always a Wimpy nearby.
