Head to Muizenberg to check out The Bluebird Garage Food and Goods Market
The Bluebird Garage Food and Goods Market in Muizenberg has quickly taken Cape Town locals by storm. Taking place every Friday night in a rustic, postal plane hangar, the market is filled with an array of specialty foods, baked goods, artisanal delights, designers and producers.
The owners, Laura Watkins and Marcus Schutz, have taken this opportunity and grabbed it with both hands. “It’s so incredible to be involved in a market that’s part of such a beautiful community and brings people together to enjoy their Friday night shenanigans all in one place! It’s such a pleasure to work here every Friday. We love all our traders, employees and all our supportive customers and truly enjoy spending our Friday evenings here.
”
It’s also perfect for the entire family. “We’re super dog-friendly and always happy to have pooches around. We also have a big jungle gym kids’ area so the little ones can run around while the adults relax.”
The aim of the market in the words of the owners is to bring the butchers, the bakers and the T-shirt makers together under one roof, and they have undoubtedly achieved that. Open every Friday, from 4pm to 10pm, come rain or shine, the market is proudly South African, with a range of handpicked South African wines, craft beers and a scrumptious food selection which includes a range of delicious doughnuts from The Donut Workshop, mouth-watering tacos and chilli poppers from Tacos Locos, sushi from Blue Marlin, fudge from Sweet Dreams Fudge and so much more.
Blue Bird Garage Food and Goods Market is winning at bringing a community together while also running a successful business.
The popularity of food and goods markets has skyrocketed in Cape Town and across the country with more and more locals choosing to spend their weekends visiting different markets, something the Blue Bird Garage Food and Goods Market has been able to capitalise on.
The Blue Bird Garage Food and Goods Market is open to traders who would like to have a stall at the weekly market, and by the look of things, spots are being snapped up fast so be sure to enquire today.
What are your plans this Friday? Make a trip of it and take a drive to Muizenberg and experience the atmosphere of the market that has everyone talking.
