The Rooy Food Market is back on the last Sunday of May, and if you’re a fan of artisan eats, live music, and digging through the odd boot sale for treasure, best you clear your calendar.

Happening on Sunday, 25 May from 10:00 to 15:00 at 36 Piet Bosman Street in Potch, the market promises a mix of local flavour, homegrown creativity, and tunes to keep things lively. Best part? Entry is absolutely free.

What’s On the Menu (Besides Food)?

As always, Rooy Food Market isn’t just about filling your stomach. Yes, there’ll be food—plenty of it. Expect cheese, meats, sweet and savoury treats, and a proper spread of handcrafted goods from local makers.

But it’s not all eating and shopping. There's also a car boot sale—so if you’re looking for something random, retro, or just cheap, there’s a good chance you’ll find it here. It’s basically treasure hunting, just with more biltong and less sand.

Gert & Modz Live: Music and Mischief

Adding to the atmosphere this time around is live music from Gert & Modz, a crowd-pleasing duo who know their way around a tune (and a laugh). With a mix of genres and a bit of on-stage banter, they’re known for keeping things light, fun, and definitely not boring.

Let’s just say if you’re not dancing, you’re probably eating—and that’s fair.
