Heritage Day is a South African public holiday celebrated on September 24. On the day, South Africans are encouraged to celebrate their culture and the diversity of their beliefs and traditions.

It is a day for South Africans to reflect on and appreciate the cultural traditions, languages, and customs that make the nation unique. The day is also an opportunity to promote unity and understanding among the various cultural and ethnic groups that make up South Africa’s multicultural society.

In 1995, the South African government officially recognised it as a day to celebrate and embrace diverse cultures. It is a day when South Africans from all walks of life come together to share their traditions, stories, and, of course, delicious food.
