If you're already planning next weekend, the HalaalGoods Market is once again bringing together food, fashion and local entrepreneurs for a three-day event at Waterfall Park, Mall of Africa.

Taking place from 24 to 26 July 2026, the market has become a regular fixture on Johannesburg's events calendar, attracting visitors from across Gauteng with its wide variety of halaal food, independent retailers and family-friendly atmosphere.

A Weekend of Global Flavours

Food remains the heart of the market.

Visitors can expect a broad selection of cuisines from around the world, with vendors serving everything from Korean favourites and slow-smoked barbecue to wood-fired pizzas, artisan desserts and speciality drinks.

The market's focus is on showcasing the diversity of halaal cuisine while creating a welcoming space for anyone who enjoys discovering new flavours.

New for 2026

This year's programme introduces First Taste Friday, an opening-night experience taking place on Friday, 24 July.

The evening offers visitors an opportunity to explore the market before the busiest weekend crowds arrive, with selected vendors introducing exclusive menu items and product launches.

For those who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, Friday may be the ideal time to visit.

More Than a Food Market

Alongside the food stalls, visitors can browse a wide selection of local businesses offering fashion, home décor, jewellery, gifts and handcrafted products.

Families are equally well catered for, with dedicated children's activities making it easy to spend several hours exploring the market together.
