Centurionites, get ready for your very own Boeremark!

The first market of its kind for Centurion will launch this weekend and will take place every Saturday from 07:00 to 15:00. The event boasts the best of Centurion’s farm fresh produce, homemade baked goods, handmade gifts and fresh food.

There will be entertainment for the whole family, such as Scoop-a-coin for the kids at a covered venue at Centurion mall near Entrance 8.

The event has been in the works since early this year, so this one is not to be missed for Centurion residents and beyond.

The Hoërskool Die Wilgers alumnus will be performing at Jitterbugz in Centurion from 20:00.
