🎄A FESTIVE WEEKEND OF FOOD, FAMILY, SHOPPING & MAGIC

Welcome to the most loved community market in Johannesburg — where the trees sparkle, the food sizzles, kids laugh, adults unwind, and the whole neighbourhood feels like one big family.

From 21–23 November, George Hay Park transforms into a vibrant Christmas wonderland that brings together local makers, delicious eats, incredible entertainment, and heartwarming community spirit — all in support of Nicarela Charity.

Whether you come for the shopping, the food, the kids' activities, or simply the festive vibe, there’s something waiting here that will make you say, “Okay, THIS is Christmas.”

​

⭐ WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE MARKET

​

🍴 A FOODIE FESTIVAL YOU CAN SMELL FROM THE GATE

Our food court is packed with flavour heroes serving up everything from saucy sandos to Thai comfort bowls, crispy chicken chows, Greek favourites, pancakes, oysters and more. Come hungry, leave happy.

​

🧵 ARTISANS, MAKERS & CURATED GIFTS

Meet the local crafters, designers, and creators behind more than 80 hand-selected stalls. Find gifts that feel thoughtful from fashion to home décor, kids’ items, accessories, Christmas treats and once-off treasures.

This is where “Just one more gift!” becomes a serious problem.

​

🎶 LIVE ENTERTAINMENT ALL WEEKEND

From jazz to acoustic guitar, school bands to beloved local performers, the stage (and even the park paths!) come alive with music.
Expect a lineup of artists bringing festive energy and soulful sound all weekend long. Line up to release this weekend!

When the sun dips, the lights come on. The whole park glows, the music turns golden, and the food queue becomes the happiest place on earth.

It’s romantic, whimsical and ridiculously Instagrammable.

​
