Green Point Market - Cape Town
------------------------- PERMANENTLY CLOSED --------------------------
The Green Point Market was a famous flea market located near the Cape Town Stadium (old Green Point Stadium) in Cape Town, South Africa. Historically, it was one of the largest and most popular markets in the city, operating every Sunday and offering a wide variety of goods, including African crafts, clothing, jewelry, food, and curios. It attracted both locals and tourists alike, becoming a cultural hotspot for finding authentic African art, souvenirs, and street food.
History: The market has its origins in the 1980s and became an iconic part of Cape Town's weekend life for decades. It was well known for its vibrant atmosphere, where vendors from all over Africa would sell their handmade items, reflecting the continent’s rich heritage and craftsmanship. The market played a significant role in supporting local artisans and small businesses, many of whom relied on the bustling tourist trade.
In 2009, the market was relocated due to the construction of the Cape Town Stadium for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. After the stadium was completed, there were efforts to bring back the market in various forms, but its re-establishment has faced challenges over the years.
Today, there are other markets around Cape Town that carry on the legacy of open-air markets, but the original Green Point Market remains fondly remembered as a key part of the city's cultural history.
Current Status: The market as it once was no longer operates in its traditional form. However, inquiries about current market events or similar experiences in the area can be directed to the City of Cape Town's Events Office:
If you're looking for alternative markets, Cape Town now hosts several vibrant markets, such as the Old Biscuit Mill Market in Woodstock and the Oranjezicht City Farm Market near the Waterfront.
