Delicious Treats, Family Entertainment, and Cultural Exploration

This annual celebration of Belgian culture promises a vibrant day filled with authentic flavors, artisanal craftsmanship and lots of festive cheer. Visitors can indulge in a wide array of Belgian sweet and savoury delicacies, from waffles and chocolates to hearty stews, fresh mussels and gourmet fries.

And what would a Belgian market be without our famous Belgian beers? The market will also showcase wines and spirits, all proudly produced by Belgians.

In addition to the culinary delights, guests can explore a curated craft market featuring handmade goods, gifts and creations from local and Belgian makers — perfect for early holiday shopping or a unique souvenir.

The festival is great for families, as children will be entertained with a range of activities, including jumping castles, face painting and sand art stations. Throughout the day, everyone can find a comfortable seat and enjoy some live music from The Incidentals, an acoustic folk-rock trio, creating a relaxed and festive atmosphere.

Parking is available at Fernwood Estate and the Stone Cottages at Kirstenbosch, with a free shuttle to the event grounds. The event is wheelchair friendly, with access to differently abled bathrooms & parking, as well as there being a mixture of tarred & grassed areas.

So, whether you’re a longtime fan of the unique Belgian culture or simply curious to discover its richness, the Taste of Belgium Market offers a warm and welcoming experience for all ages. If you haven’t had the chance to visit Belgium yet, this will be your unique opportunity to indulge in its iconic flavours!
