30+ Christmas Markets coming your way


Cape Town – Okay we’ll admit, a white European Christmas sounds like a magical fairy-tale, and everyone should experience a snowy Christmas at least once. However, a summer Christmas combines all things divine in this world – hot sun, cold beer, cool waves and best of all - family time! 

It’s also a time when you want to shower all your loved ones with thoughtful gifts, but cash-flow won’t always allow for such lavish spending. 

Luckily, with the plenty of original and crafty markets sewn all over SA, your Christmas spending doesn’t need to be that over the top. You can buy crafty, proudly South African gifts at these markets, or just fish around for some home-makey ideas all while enjoying a great festive vibe in summer. 

Whip out your diary – these are the Christmas markets happening this year:
