Charlotte South African Braai 2024 FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should I attend the braai?
The Charlotte South African Braai is an opportunity to join fellow South Africans from all over the Southeastern U.S. for good food, good music and good times! It is family-friendly, open to everyone, and a great way to get back to our roots in our beautiful country. Come to the braai to make new friends, built new connections and experience a proper South African braai right here in Charlotte!
2. How can I help?
We would be happy to have you volunteer to help out before, during or after the braai to make this event as wonderful and successful as possible! Please email admin@charlottebraai.com if you would like to volunteer.
3. What do I need to bring?
This is a typical South African Bring 'n Braai, so please bring some meat, sides and soft drinks. There will be sharing tables set up where you can share any food or other items you'd like to share! Camping chairs, picnic blankets, and tents/canopies are welcome and there will be tables in the shelters! Please note that outside alcohol is NOT allowed.
The shelters at Park Road Park have very small braai areas, so we'd ask anyone who has a Weber or grill they can bring along, to please do so. Extra charcoal is also welcome.
4. Are pets allowed?
This is a Charlotte Public Park, so regular charlotte park rules apply, so pets are allowed.
5. Where do I donate?
We are not currently accepting donations, please volunteer your time if possible to help organize or set up the shelters.
6. Where do I park?
Shelter 1 and 2 are located at the North East entrance of Park rd Park, just off of Closeburn rd. There is a large parking lot next both shelters (next to the volleyball court).
7. Can I bring alcohol?
No alcohol is allowed. We have the option of getting an alcohol permit from the City, so we are looking into this.
