CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF THE LINDEN MARKET THIS MONTH
A DECADE OF HANDMADE MAGIC AND JOZI SPIRIT
Johannesburg, South Africa — Joburg’s favourite artisanal playground returns this spring with a bold celebration of 10 years of creativity, community and local entrepreneurship.
Now in its third instalment of a year-long 10th birthday celebration, The Linden Market Spring Edition is a high-energy weekend packed with live music, interactive experiences, dog-friendly fun and handmade treasures from the country’s most exciting makers.
On Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 September 2025, The Linden Market will transform the Emmarentia Botanical Gardens into a bustling showcase of SA talent, style, and soul — and you’re invited.
For the past decade, the Linden Market has been more than a market — it’s about building a community. A platform where makers thrive, visitors connect, and Johannesburg’s creative spirit shines. This Spring, join the celebration and help shape the next decade of community, commerce, and culture.
And marking a major milestone, the Linden Market has partnered with a local high school as it unveils its first-ever anthem: “We Build Together (Siyakhe Sonke)” which will debut live at the Spring Edition of the market.
The song will be performed by idols finalist Suzzi Swanepoel and folk singer Lungleo Moyo, alongside the Greenside High Choir. Composed and produced by Wesley West with lyrics written by the Linden Market’s own Stachia Conradie, the track blends powerful vocals, rich harmonies and heartfelt lyrics to capture the heartbeat of Jozi’s creative scene. The song is a heartfelt tribute to the makers, bakers and dreamers who’ve helped shape The Linden Market into a platform for small business success and community growth over the past 10 years.
“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.” said market director Stachia Conradie.
