The 2023 Heritage Month focuses on South Africa’s rich and diverse cultural heritage and its immense contribution to our social, economic, health, and scientific well-being, especially for rural, township, and peri-urban communities.

Annually, September marks Heritage Month, with Heritage Day celebrated on 24 September by showcasing our nation’s diverse culture and heritage. During Heritage Month, South Africans celebrate our many diverse cultures and rich heritage, incorporating African, Asian, and European cultures and traditions.

This year’s Heritage Month theme is “Celebrating our cultural diversity in a democratic South Africa”, and the Heritage Day event on 24 September 2023 will be hosted by the eThekwini Metro in KwaZulu-Natal.

This year’s Heritage Month encourages South Africans in all district municipalities to host cultural carnivals with music, dance, poetry, and food from different cultural groups who reside within that district.
