<\/span>It\u2019s Heritage Day and (for some) a long weekend to boot.<\/p>\n

And if it\u2019s authentic, local and yummy grub and entertainment you\u2019re looking for, then the Durban Street Food Festival is the place to be.<\/p>\n

Running from Thursday until Sunday, at 8 Morrison Street (located between the ICC and beachfront \u2013 just look for the crowds if you\u2019re lost) in the city, street vendors will have a variety of street fare on sale. From roasted mealies to craft beer, \u201cwalkie-talkies\u201d (chicken) to bunny chows; shisa nyama to vegan\/vegetarian \u2013 the festival will have something for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n

As an event organiser put it, \u201cit\u2019s a chance for Warwick Junction to meet uMhlanga\u2019s venture capitalists\u201d over good, wholesome food.<\/p>\n

While food is the main focus, there is also an extensive line-up of performers planned for the 4-day event. Music, dance, small theatre \u2013 it\u2019s all on offer at the festival this weekend.<\/p>\n

And of course the festival will mark National Braai Day where local comedian Masood Boomgard and friends will attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time spent braaiing.<\/p>\n

A 4-day ticket is R150 and tickets at the door are R50 per person.<\/p>\n
