Market Celebration Set For Spring in Potch - 6 September

Shooting for the Stars Montessori to Host Festive Market Day

Potchefstroom locals have something lively to look forward to this spring as Shooting for the Stars Montessori gears up to host a community market celebration on Saturday, 6 September 2025, at 14 Neethling Street, Baillie Park. The event kicks off at 09:00 sharp and will run until around 13:00.

Kids Get the Fun – and the Entry Fee

Parents, take note: entry is R20 per child, which covers access to all the kids' entertainment. Yes, that includes the bubble bounce house and other fun stations, so you can enjoy a waffle in peace while your child bounces away their sugar rush.

Bring Your Appetite and Your Wallet

The organisers are promising “loads of yummy goodies for the tummy” and it’s not just idle chatter. Here's a sneak peek of what’s on the menu:

• Boerewors rolls (of course)

• Samosas

• Mickey Mouse and flower-shaped waffles

• Chip and Dip

• Sweet stall delights

• Fresh lemonade

• Brownies and mini flapjacks

• Popcorn, slushies, cotton candy and ice cream

Payment will be possible by cash or card, so no need to dig through your car’s cubbyhole for loose change.

Spring Vibes Only

The dress code is simple: spring. So if you’ve been waiting to wear that floral shirt or pastel sundress, this is your moment. Matching the vibe might not be compulsory, but it’s certainly encouraged.

Everyone’s Welcome – Even the Facebook Crowd

The event is open to everyone in Potchefstroom. Whether you’re a parent, a student, or someone just looking for a good waffle, the organisers would love to see you there.

It's a school-hosted market, yes, but it sounds more like a laid-back local festival with plenty of snacks and entertainment. No pretence, just a good old spring celebration. Pop in, bring the kids, wear your flower crown if that’s your thing, and enjoy the community buzz.
