It was in 1976, in an effort to raise funds for Michael Mount Waldorf School, when a group of parents started bringing their organically grown fruit and vegetables from their gardens to sell to other parents.   To increase sales, they ventured out onto the pavement waving bunches of carrots at passing cars.  

As a movement towards healthy eating and conscious living, the market quickly grew to include a variety of artists and crafters.  From these humble beginnings, Johannesburg’s first and finest outdoor market was born.   

Two devastating fires gutted the market.   The first in 1988 and the second twenty years later in 2008, but the spirit of the market could not be vanquished and each time it arose from the ashes stronger than before.

We look forward to having you join us during the festive month of October when the market will be dressed up in its birthday finery and a good time will be had by all.   Don't miss the fun!!

With best wishes,
