South Africa’s original curated halaal food and design market is back. The #HalaalGoodsMarket returns to Waterfall Park at Mall of Africa from 24–26 July 2026, bringing together the very best in local food, shopping and family-friendly experiences.
Since its debut in 2017, the HalaalGoodsMarket (HGM) has become a much-loved destination for food lovers and conscious shoppers alike, while championing small businesses and local entrepreneurship. More than 70% of participating businesses produce their goods locally, with a significant number being women-owned enterprises.
This year’s event introduces an exciting new addition: First Taste Friday, an exclusive opening experience on 24 July from 2:30pm to 10pm. Visitors can enjoy first access to selected vendors, limited-edition menu items, new product launches and a relaxed evening atmosphere before the main market weekend begins.
Over the weekend, more than 100 vendors will transform Waterfall Park into a vibrant celebration of culture, creativity and community. From Korean and Japanese-inspired eats to traditional South African favourites with a halaal twist, visitors can expect everything from kimbap and karak chai to brisket burgers, artisanal desserts and handcrafted beverages.
Beyond the food, the market also offers fashion, homeware, jewellery, gifts and activities for children.
Founded by entrepreneur, author and television personality Fehmida Jordaan, HGM was created to celebrate the diversity of halaal lifestyle while providing a platform for small businesses to grow.
“More than anything, we want to create a space where people can connect, discover incredible local businesses and experience the richness of our food and culture. The market has always been about community and creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to thrive,” says Jordaan.
While the concept of halaal is often associated with food, the market embraces its broader meaning of ethical living and welcomes people from all backgrounds. The HalaalGoodsMarket has become a gathering place where families, foodies and shoppers come together to eat, socialise and support local businesses.
