PORT Elizabeth residents and visitors are<br />
spoilt for choice when it comes to artisanal<br />
food markets that provide an interactive,<br />
creative platform for them to socialise and try<br />
some new and interesting food.<br />
With markets rapidly growing in Nelson Mandela<br />
Bay in the last five years, people have an array of<br />
options to choose from that should suit their individual<br />
tastebuds and support locally made products.<br />
Bay economic development executive director<br />
Anele Qaba said on Sunday that the markets in<br />
the city provided a platform not only for smaller<br />
businesses, but also for buying local products which<br />
created opportunities for more jobs and economic<br />
opportunities.<br />
“Markets are becoming increasingly popular in<br />
Nelson Mandela Bay with more and more people<br />
finding value in buying local,” Qaba said.<br />
“The Bay’s markets cover various niches, tastes, and<br />
products – so mark your calendar,” he said.<br />
Some of the different markets found in the city include:<br />
ART IN THE PARK – Port Elizabeth’s oldest market<br />
is held on the last Sunday of every month. Stalls include<br />
art, craft, food, plants, toys, collectibles and bric-a-brac.<br />
The market takes place at St George’s Park from 9am to<br />
2pm and entry is free.<br />
LOCALLY YOURS MARKET – All about products<br />
that are handmade, grown, crafted, cooked, baked<br />
