  • When: Friday, 25 September 2026 — the day after Heritage Day and a proper kick-off to the long weekend
  • Where: Hollywoodbets Greyville, Durban
  • What: Lucky Fish Friday Night Racing, themed Braai, Beats and Gallops
This Friday, Hollywoodbets Greyville turns Heritage Weekend into a braai-and-beats night at the races — free entry, live music, a proper grill on course, and Lucky Fish Friday Night Racing to close out September.

A Heritage Weekend night that already feels familiar

Heritage Day falls on a Thursday this year, which means Friday is the first full day of that long weekend energy. Lucky Fish is using it. Instead of another generic Friday card, Greyville is running Braai, Beats and Gallops — the kind of night that already feels like a tradition if you’ve been to a few of these Lucky Fish Fridays.

You don’t need a ticket. Walk in, find a spot, and the rest of the evening is racing, food and whatever the speakers are doing.

The braai is not a prop

Bluff Meat Supply is running a live braai station on course. That is the point of the theme, not a side note. Around it sits a proper food market rather than one lonely cart:

  • Dos Brews
  • Pepper Pot
  • Wok on Fire
  • Dream Cakes
  • Flavours of Home
  • Nachitos
  • Homestyle Delights
  • Shirley’s Catering
  • Paris Crêpes
  • Street Food Frenzy

If you want something you can eat standing up near the rail, the Astro Turf has pita options:

  • Chicken livers peri-peri
  • Roast leg of lamb
  • Lamb curry
  • Grilled hake with lemon herb butter
  • Roast chicken
  • Boerewors and onion gravy
  • Veg biryani
  • Dhal

Beats, then gallops

Lucky Fish Friday Night Racing has been building this exact formula all season: free gates, a theme that changes week to week, live entertainment, and a card under lights. Boots, Bubbles & Beer was last week. This week they lean into Heritage Month the way most of the country already does — fire, music, family, and a reason to stay out later than planned.

  • 2 Unique and Kubo handle the music
  • Stilt walkers work the venue between races
  • KidZone keeps the little ones busy if you’re bringing the family

If you’re there for the horses

The racing is still the spine of the night. You can watch it live, or you can have a slip on it from the stands, the same way you would on any other Lucky Fish Friday.

New players who have not opened an account yet can use the Lucky Fish promo code SAGAMES when they register at Lucky Fish and pick up the current welcome extra — a R50 no-deposit bonus plus 50 bonus spins — which is enough to have a look at the Greyville card without putting money down first. Terms apply, 18+ only.

Bring the kids if that is how your long weekend works. The KidZone is part of why these Fridays keep filling up with families instead of only the usual racing crowd.
