Market organiser Handri Coolen said the overwhelming support from the community made the day particularly special. “People love a French market. It’s normally our busiest market of the year and we were so well supported.
“We thank the community for their unwavering support and all our traders, for the effort they put in. They dressed up and decorated their stalls. It was fantastic to see the whole community spirit and how people came together.”
Coolen added that the French market also marked an important milestone in the field market’s yearly programme. The field market hosts 10 markets each year, with the July event being the fifth of the season, leaving another five markets scheduled between August and December.

Looking ahead, Coolen said visitors can expect another exciting line-up of events in the months to come. “The August market falls on the long weekend, so it’s always well supported. We’ll also have musician Lungelo Hlongwane performing. People love his music style, so it will be a special one.”
