Durban’s market and foodies are in for a treat this May because the hugely popular Pavilion Night Market is officially making its return.
On Saturday, 30 May, The Pavilion Shopping Centre will transform its undercover rooftop parking space into a buzzing after-hours market filled with local makers, live music, street food and laid-back weekend energy.
Running from 3pm to 10pm, the Pavilion Night Market has become one of Durban’s favourite evening events, drawing crowds looking for something a little different from the usual mall experience.
Adding to the atmosphere is a live music line-up that’ll carry the evening from relaxed afternoon browsing into full night-market mode. Visitors can catch performances from acoustic soul-pop duo Second Note, Pietermaritzburg favourites Many Moore, and Durban-based folk and indie performer Zoe Wright, whose ukulele-driven sets have become a regular crowd-pleaser.
The market will take place at the centre’s Undercover area, accessible via Entrance 5 and Entrance 6.
Plus, entry is completely free!
Whether you’re planning a casual date night, a family outing, a catch-up with friends or simply looking for an excuse to wander through food stalls with something warm in hand, this one-night-only event is worth adding to your Durban social calendar.
