We appreciate you joining our page this past year to share with fellow South Africans. We will soon be sending out a survey to ask for feedback on what worked well and suggestions for improvement for the Potjie. To clarify and avoid confusion we wish to confirm that this is and will remain the official site / page for the Texas Potjie, managed, maintained and constantly improved upon by the original founders and their succeeding committee members. Any similar Facebook pages or websites are for a different group. We will continuously strive to bring you the best Texas Potjie venue where South Africans and their friends and families can socialize and enjoy our shared heritage.
It’s the annual Texas Potjie Festival, and this year will be another amazing year of music, South African food, family, friends, swimming, relaxing, sharing Potjiekos and kids doing Boeresport.
It’s the annual Texas Potjie Festival!
Preparations for this annual “potjiekos” festival begin weeks in advance. Some people make biltong, droëwors, boerewors, bake rusks, koeksisters, and many other traditional goodies in the weeks leading up to it.
People start arriving at the campground on the Friday. Some stay in cabins, others in RVs, and the rest in tents. Then the braai fires are lit and the party is on!
Saturday is the biltong, droe wors and kids Potjie competition, Saturday evening is the big “sokkie” and Sunday evening is the concert.
