The annual daytime all-white themed picnic, in celebration of Heritage Day, is back again this year – featuring a diverse line-up, with big names such as Thandiswa Mazwai.
Since its inauguration last year, this live music event is a great addition to Nelson Mandela Bay and the Eastern Cape’s events calendar.
It will take place on Sunday, September 24, at Victoria Park.
The event’s main focus is music, but includes a number of other elements which make it unique against other offerings.
This lifestyle event is aimed at celebrating Heritage Day while creating employment opportunities for artists, SMMEs and PDI service providers, vendors/food trucks and local establishments, which will all benefit from visitors and locals who 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 the 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, Zain-SA, Luckeez Mfowethu, DJ Mleister, DJ Mthiza the Versatile and Andy Ndlazilwana.
Amaza Ntshanga, Lusanda Mbane, Makaziwe Tsako and Slujah will be programme directors of this very hot line-up.
The second annual All White Heritage Day Picnic is made possible by Ebubeleni Festival and Sandla Black, in collaboration with the Department of Sport, Recreation. Arts and Culture, Mzansi Magic Music, Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency, Umhlobo Wenene, Tru FM and Nkqubela FM.
Tickets to the event are available at Webtickets, Pick n Pay and Boxer Stores, and start from R355 for general, R1 200 for VIP, and cooler box admission tickets are R100. No tickets will be sold at the gate.
The dress code is all white, with a touch of heritage/cultural. Gates open at 09:00 and the event starts at 11:00 until 18:00. No persons under 18 will be allowed.
