Spend an evening at Blue Bird Garage Market

Forget cooking dinner. On Thursday and Friday evenings, an old postal plane hangar in Muizenberg transforms into one of Cape Town's most colourful neighbourhood markets. Follow the irresistible smells of sizzling street food, grab a bite from one of the many international food stalls and settle in among the locals for a relaxed evening. Browse handmade jewellery, ceramics, vintage clothing and quirky creations from local makers, or discover the market's tucked-away speakeasy. With its eclectic atmosphere, communal tables and unmistakable Muizenberg personality, Blue Bird Garage is less about shopping and more about enjoying a good night out.

BEFORE YOU GO
Blue Bird Garage Market takes place every Thursday and Friday from 4pm to 10pm, rain or shine. Entry is free, but bring money for food, drinks and shopping. The market is covered, making it an excellent option for rainy evenings. Friday nights can get particularly busy, so arrive early if you'd like to find seating easily. Friendly dogs are welcome on leads, and families are welcome too. Check the market's social media pages for any changes to trading hours or special events.
