Joburg's favourite Sunday city market, Market on Main, is back this October, happening at a new venue, the vibrant streets of the new Jewel City precinct!

Bringing back all the delicious food traders that have made this decade-old market so popular, as well as great crafts, gifts and fashion, it's a welcome return to the city for one of Joburg's favourite Sunday hangouts, who like other markets across the country were forced to close in the wake of the pandemic.

Throughout October Market on Main is happening at Jewel City, a brand new urban development that takes over six city blocks previously part of the fortress-like Jewel City diamond trading complex opposite Maboneng. A new residential precinct that seeks to transform the work-live-play lifestyle in this part of the city, Jewel City is characterised by its wide open tree-lined pedestrianised streets and some of the most outstanding new street art murals in Joburg.  

Expect great tunes, awesome food stalls, including all the usual favourite Market on Main favourites plus the unique gift and fashion vendors and lively urban vibe that always make Market On Main such a uniquely Joburg experience. 

Among the many exciting traders joining at this special edition of the market are long-running Market on Main favourites such as Gala's who make quite simply some of the finest cakes in the city, as well as market newcomers like Roving Bantu Kitchen from the famous Afro-soul food and music venue in Brixton.

NEED TO KNOW: Entrance is free and the market is open Sunday 10:00-15:00. Jewel City is situated between End St and Berea St and Commissioner and Main Sts in the Joburg City Centre just west of the Maboneng Precinct.
