THE 2nd annual intimate daytime “All-White” themed Picnic” is a live music event in celebration of Heritage Day featuring a diverse line-up.
Heritage Day on 24 September is a national public holiday that recognizes and celebrates the cultural wealth and cultural diversity of our nation. South Africans celebrate the day by remembering the cultural heritage of the many cultures that make up the population of South Africa. Various events are staged throughout the country to commemorate this day. September is also ‘Tourism Month’ focusing on the importance of tourism to the economy of South Africa.
Since its inauguration last year, this event has been a great addition to Nelson Mandela Bay and Eastern Cape’s events calendar. The event’s focus is music but includes several other elements that make it unique from other offerings. This lifestyle event is aimed at celebrating Heritage Day while creating employment opportunities for our artists, SMMEs and PDI service providers, vendors/food trucks, and local establishments like B&Bs, hotels, fuel stations, restaurants/fast foods, liquor stores, etc. who will all benefit from visitors and locals who will attend the event.
The event’s loyal festinos cannot wait for this date to show off their beautiful white-with-a-touch-of-tradition outfits mostly designed by Eastern Cape’s talented designers, boasting proudly South African cloths, beadwork, and styles.
The line-up this year boasts multi-award-winning singers, Bethusile Mcinga; Big Zulu; Lwah Ndlunkulu; Mandisi Dyantyis, the country’s multi-talented Diva – Thandiswa Mazwai; Gqeberha’s icons Zain-SA; Luckeez Mfowethu; DJ Mleister, DJ Mthiza the Versatile and Andy Ndlazilwana.
