How The Braai Works
(10:00 – 12:00)
9 am: gates will open and braai’s will be started
10 am sharp: all 3,000 participants will braai together in what will be the biggest public braai the world has ever seen.
Please note: For Guinness World Records purposes, all braai participants must remain at their allocated braai station for the full official braai period. This is extremely important. Participants may not leave their station, walk around, visit friends, take photos away from their station, or move to another braai during the official attempt.
We are doing this together, and every single person plays a part in bringing the record home.
