Johannesburg, 17 March 2026: Bedford shopping centre in Johannesburg is getting ready to welcome back the popular, vibrant Sunset Market, returning on Friday, 20 March from 4 pm to 10 pm. Created in collaboration with The Urban Markets, the next edition leans into what people loved about the market from the start: a relaxed Friday night rhythm, friendly energy and a reason to slow down as the sun sets.
A Market Built Around People and Place
With over 100 stalls to explore, the Sunset Market brings together traders who love what they do and enjoy sharing it. Expect a mix of food that invites grazing, handmade pieces that spark conversation and small discoveries that feel personal. It is the kind of space where visitors move at their own pace, stop to chat with friends and bump into neighbours along the way. As the afternoon shifts into evening, the atmosphere softens, and the market takes on a cosy, welcoming feel.
A Familiar Setting After Hours
Hosted at Bedford in the upper car park, the Sunset Market is set to become a calendar event. The collaboration with The Urban Markets brings a thoughtful approach to curation, balancing variety with a sense of ease. Lights come on, music drifts through the air, and the centre feels different in the best possible way. It is a Friday night that does not ask for planning or pressure, only time and curiosity.
