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

New Market for Cape Town: City Bowl Market on Hope
A new market is coming to the City Bowl, and I have a very strong feeling it's going to give the ol' Neighbour Goods Market some stiff competition. Curious as I always am about such things, I arranged to meet up with market organiser Madelen Johansson last week, to see the new venue, and to have a chat about what's in store for us market-mad Capetonians. more
