French Market
The very first French Market at Villa Avianto took place in October 2008, starting with just 8 exhibitors and 120 guests. Today, it has grown into a vibrant celebration of French flair and local talent—filled with delicious aromas, beautiful sounds, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Stroll through stalls offering everything from mouthwatering food to handmade jewellery, natural skincare, stylish clothing, and more—all crafted with care by passionate local artists and makers. Enjoy live music, soak up the festive energy, and indulge in the charm of a European-style market right here in the heart of the Free State.
There’s a free kiddies area to keep the little ones entertained, and furry friends are welcome too—because this day is for the whole family! 🐶🎨🎶
Food Fest
At the heart of the Cultural Food Market is a simple but powerful belief: food has the ability to bring people together in a wholehearted celebration of friendship, family, and culture.
This is more than just a market—it’s a shared experience. Young and old gather around long tables, both indoors and under the open sky, to savour dishes from around the world while enjoying the gentle rhythms of live music in the background. It’s a space where laughter flows freely, stories are exchanged, and new memories are made.
Come explore a world of flavour—one bite at a time. From sizzling street food to handcrafted delicacies, each stall offers a unique taste of a culture you may have never known, but just might fall in love with.
Gather your friends, bring the family, and join us in celebrating what connects us all: good food, good company, and the joy of discovery.
