Cape Quarter Village Market
A new market is launching in mid-November at the Cape Quarter in Green Point. On the face of it, it looks quite promising - like it's leaning towards being more of a shopping market than yet another 'entertainment' market (the kind where you can eat, drink, be merry, but not really do your week's grocery shopping). more

Bay Food & Wine Night Market
A few months back, the by now well established Bay Food & Wine Market held a one-off night market. I stopped in, for a while, and was really impressed by how well attended it was - people were streaming in from all sides, and the roads around the area were jam-packed with cars. Now it's time for their next night market, this coming Friday and they'll be making it a regular thing, with one every first Friday of the month from now on. more
