Well, wonder no more! Check out this video to see for yourself!

Every year, hundreds of South Africans make a pilgrimage to the southern state of Texas, for what has become the single biggest South African Festival in the United States of America… The biggest celebration of S.A. culture, good food, and good company this side of the Atlantic!

This video was produced by Lenry Van Zyl, with photos provided by Erika Van Zyl and other Facebook friends.

We have been to the Texas Potjie Festival 5 times, and I can tell you from experience that it is a big blast!!! :-)

Have you attended the Festival before? What are your thoughts?
