International Firefighters’ Day | 9 May 2026

Although organised firefighting dates back over two millennia, International Firefighters’ Day was first marked on 4 May 1999 - a day dedicated to honouring the brave men and women who protect our lives, property, communities, and natural environment.

It’s also a time to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

The Overberg District Municipality invites you to join in this meaningful celebration on Saturday, 9 May 2026.

- A day of honour, action, and community spirit
- Family-friendly activities and thrilling showcases
- A chance to meet and support our local heroes

Please see the poster for full event details, and come be part of a day that celebrates courage, service, and unity.

Strength. Brotherhood. Service.
