Beaufort West
About the event
The initiative was born from the annual “Braaidag” on 24 September or as it’s officially named “Heritage day”. This holiday is about bridging gaps and bringing together the various and diverse cultures of South Africa. The event aims to achieve this goal by sharing unique South African dishes made on an open fire, outdoors. This is also the most basic rule of the competition, open fire. From braai to “potjie kos” to “skaapkop” whatever the cook-off teams can come up with to impress the judges.
What to expect
This year the event is adding an extra twist. All dishes presented to the judges need to have at least one Karoo element. There is a Junior Cook-Off this year, and one of the judges, Chef Shane Phillips will do a cooking demonstration for all the aspiring chefs. There will be food and market stalls and live entertainment on the stage. The evening event will be a Bring-and-Braai event and spectators will have open braais around the stage area. There will also be a prize giving of activities of the day.
