The Village Sunday Market
Tucked away in the suburban streets of Eros in Windhoek, The Village Sunday Market beckons with an irresistible allure. This thriving hub of local entrepreneurship pulsates with a sense of community and creativity, drawing visitors from far and wide.
From its humble beginnings, initiated by the visionary Alain Seha of Urban Eden, the market has evolved into a vibrant gathering that supports small businesses and offers a platform for recognition and growth for talented musicians. What started as a compassionate endeavour during the COVID pandemic, when Alain hosted the market in his driveway free-of-charge for vendors, has blossomed into an extraordinary celebration of Namibian craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit.
Upon entering the market, a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds unfolds before you. The air is infused with the melodies of live music, adding a lively backdrop to the bustling atmosphere. It's a feast for the senses, with each step revealing new wonders and discoveries.
