Taking place at NWU Joolplaas, this is not just any market—it’s a full-blown day festival with live performances, a kiddies' corner, and plenty to explore.

Parents, there’s just one rule—make sure the kids are out of the venue by 18:20. Sounds strict, but let’s be honest, by then they’ll be exhausted from all the fun.
