Perfectly in time for the 50 year anniversary of the Soweto Uprising, Locrate Market at Lebo's Soweto Backpackers is back with a Sunday market, Generation Now, on Sun, Jun 7, 2026 – a chance to experience the vibrant spirit of Soweto from 12:00 – 20:00. Book your tickets here. 

Fusing the words 'local' and 'creative', Locrate Market's name reflects a commitment to showcasing various forms of home-grown creativity, including local makers, a culinary adventure, high-energy live music and a designated kids corner. The Generation Now edition is a celebration of 50 years of youth culture with a living archive of fashion, music, art and entrepreneurship. 

With the tagline If you are building culture, you belong here, Locrate Market is a vibrant space for connection, creativity, and entrepreneurship. In the heart of Soweto, Generation Now brings together a diverse array of food trucks, craft beers, handmade goods, and vintage treasures, all set against the backdrop of Soweto's local fashion scene and a fantastic lineup of music-makers. Locrate Market remains family-friendly, cultivating a welcoming space in which little ones can enjoy themselves, too. Follow @locratemarket on Instagram for more info on their offerings. 

Locrate Market is partnering with Lebo's Soweto Backpackers to offer a "holistic Soweto experience". You can look forward to My Weekend in Soweto tours, nightlife experiences, and bike rides. To make the most of the weekend, book a stay at Lebo's here.
