Volmaanpiekniek | Full Moon Picnic

Dié gewilde pieknieks lok plaaslike inwoners en toeriste wat onvergeetlike aande ervaar danksy die asemrowende sonsondergang, maanopkoms, natuurskoon en panoramiese uitsig oor berge, valleie en Kaapse Skiereiland. Gaste is welkom om enige tyd tussen 17:00 en 22:00 te kom ontspan en piekniek hou terwyl hulle ook die monument – ’n unieke beeldhouwerk met ryk simboliek – van naderby besigtig. ’n Gratis begeleide toer wat die betekenis en ontwerp van die monument belig, begin om 18:30. Daarbenewens kan besoekers die uitstallings en omgewing verken, en kinders kan hulle gate uit geniet in die speelparke en met buitelug-speletjies. Gaste is welkom om hul eie spys en drank te bring (geen glas, asseblief). Onthou ook warm klere en ’n flitslig om die aand voluit te geniet. Gratis, veilige parkering is beskikbaar. Die piekniekreeks ondersteun die ATM se geletterdheidsprojek ‘Laat ons Lees!’, wat daarop gemik is om kinders aan die vreugde van lees bloot te stel.
