Sugar Rush Market

About Sugar Rush Market

Every Saturday, from 08h00 to 13h00, Ballito hosts the vibey, fun Sugar Rush Market. Experiencing the Dolphin Coast by exploring one of its local markets means getting to taste, smell, hear, see and savour the many different facets of this part of KwaZulu-Natal.

This market offers so many delicious treats and gorgeous keepsakes at the stalls, which now number around 30. There are homemade goods, handmade crafts, organic produce, local products, and more. So, this is not only a fabulous place to stock up on novel and tasty gems, but also a way to support the local community as they sell their wares here. Expect fresh fruit and vegetables, preserves, olives, comforting homemade favourites, and sweets that will tempt and tantalise.

The family-focussed market offers open spaces, a great playground, and fun activities for little ones too, making Sugar Rush a fantastic option for families on a Saturday morning. In addition, on the first Saturday of every month, the Kiddies Market is a real hit amongst the young and the young at heart. Parents are invited to sit back and relax with a cold drink or a snack as they watch their little ones from the sidelines.

Or, burn some energy and get fit by tackling the five-kilometre Ballito park run at 08h00 every Saturday. This is the perfect way to work up an appetite for all the moreish goods on offer.

Come and make the most out of this tranquil farmyard setting when you spend a morning perusing the stalls and indulging in the arts, crafts and food at the Sugar Rush Market. Safe parking is available.

Ballito is less than an hour from the urban epicentre of Durban and its international airport, the King Shaka.
