The Linden Market is celebrating its 10th birthday this year and their Spring edition is going to be packed with artisanal goodness.

The Market started its celebrations earlier this year and the third instalment of the birthday fun will capture the change of season in Jozi.

The Linden Market Spring Edition is all set to take place on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 September 2025, with the Emmarentia Botanical Gardens the backdrop for a whole lot of South African talent, tastiness, style, and soul.

Local makers and creators will be joined by chefs, craft brewers, and food entrepreneurs to provide attendees with many goodies to purchase, while kids entertainment and live music will bring an element of excitement for the whole family.

To add a bit of extra musical fun to the celebrations, 'Idols' finalist Suzzi Swanepoel and folk singer Lungleo Moyo will be on hand to perform the Market's official anthem, 'We Build Together (Siyakhe Sonke)', alongside the Greenside High Choir.

A whole anthem?! This is going to be special!

“This song is a tribute to every entrepreneur who’s set up before sunrise and to every visitor who’s chosen to support local products. Those priceless moments where Jozi’s spirit has come alive and thrives, it's all thanks to you. 'Siyakhe Sonke' is our thank-you and our promise to keep building together for the next decade,” Linden Market director Stachia Conradie says.
