PUSHING A LOCAL AGENDA AT THE MMOHO BLOCK MARKET

MmohoBlock Market Returns to Mall of Africa

MmohoBlock Market Returns to Mall of Africa With The Soil, Local Brands & Family Entertainment

MmohoBlock Market Returns to Mall of Africa

MmohoBlock Market is officially returning to Mall of Africa following the huge success of its previous edition earlier this year.

Set to take place at Waterfall Park, the upcoming market promises an even bigger celebration of local fashion, music, food, creativity, and entrepreneurship — bringing together over 100 proudly South African brands under one vibrant outdoor experience.

MmohoBlock Market Continues the “Love Local” Movement

After drawing large crowds during its debut edition, MmohoBlock has quickly become one of Johannesburg’s fastest-growing lifestyle market experiences.

Focused entirely on supporting local creators, the market connects fashion-forward shoppers with curated South African designers, makers, entrepreneurs, and creative brands.

The event is part of the growing “shopping with purpose” movement, encouraging consumers to support local businesses and independent creators.

Visitors can expect:

  • local fashion brands,
  • handmade lifestyle products,
  • gourmet food vendors,
  • designer cocktails,
  • live entertainment,
  • family activities,
  • and creative workshops.

The Soil Joins the MmohoBlock Family

One of the biggest highlights of the upcoming edition is the addition of legendary South African a cappella group The Soil.

Organisers confirmed that The Soil will not only perform live at the market, but will also partner with the platform to help spotlight local creatives and entrepreneurs.

The collaboration perfectly matches MmohoBlock’s community-driven vision of supporting South African talent across fashion, music, food, and culture.
