A preview and pre-party to the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz, the Jazz Joburg Night Market takes over the Nelson Mandela Square, with food stalls, night market favourites and free performances from festival headliners like The New York Round Midnight Band. 

The market kicks off on Thursday with performances from vocalists Zano and Vuyo Tyolo, while Friday brings bassist and vocalist Aus Tebza (best known for her work with the likes of HHP and Kelly Khumalo). On Saturday, The National Youth Band and pop singer-songwriter Sobantwana take to the stage while The New York Round Midnight Band ends the market with a bang on Sunday.
