Local Market Buzzes into Cherry Square on 31 May

The heart of Cherry Square will be pulsing with the scent of food, the hum of music, and the chatter of curious market-goers on Saturday, 31 May 2025, from 10:00 to 15:00. It's all happening at 100 Bree Street, and if you're into local flavour, in every sense of the word, you’ll probably want to be there.

It’s Not Just a Market, It’s a Vibe

This free-entry local market promises a mix of offerings from the everyday to the slightly unexpected. Stalls will showcase everything from food and crafts to good old homemade products like boerseep (farm soap), drukwerk (custom printing), and yes, even hond jassies (dog jackets).

You’ll also stumble upon some quirkier fare, think steampunk gear, leather-and-light creations, bird feeders, antiques, and that staple of South African get-togethers: pannekoek (pancakes). As for foodies, your options will stretch from wraps and burgers to beesstert (ox tail) and mozzarella sticks. And don’t forget the liqueur, just pace yourself.
