The day is hosted by Santam and 94.7 Highveld Stereo and is an excellent opportunity for families to picnic and have some fun.

Set against the iconic backdrop of the calabash-styled FNB Stadium, this not-to-be-missed event will take place on 3 September at the stadium precinct.

FNB Stadium was the venue for the 2010 World Cup opening and closing ceremony. The stadium also hosted the opening and final games of the football spectacular.

According to 94.7 Highveld Stereo station manager, Ravi Naidoo, “In 2010, the Calabash became a symbol of our strength, our ability to put on world-class events and it brought us together as a city.

“In 2011 we are excited to bring together Joburgers once again, for another world-class event that showcases the exceptional talent South Africa has on offer.”

Previously, Joburg Day was held successfully in Randburg and Riversands in Fourways.
