Twilight Treats and Local Beats: Linton’s Corner Night Market Returns This July

Pretoria’s cosiest night market is back, and it’s bringing the heat this winter. On Friday, 11 July 2025, the beloved Linton’s Corner Night Market makes a comeback, lighting up the eastern edge of Pretoria with local flavour, music, and good vibes. It kicks off at 4 pm at the corner of Lynnwood Road and Solomon Mahlangu Drive, a spot many know as the heart of Equestria’s laid-back charm.

Whether you’re a foodie, a live-music lover, or a parent in desperate need of a kid-friendly night out, this market has something to keep everyone smiling, even your dog.

A Local Tradition with Soul

Linton’s Corner Night Market has quietly become a highlight on Pretoria’s lifestyle calendar. What started as a small gathering of vendors and neighbours has grown into a full-blown Friday-night favourite. It’s not just about browsing artisanal stalls under fairy lights; it’s about community, connection, and celebration.

This winter edition promises all the right ingredients:

• Gourmet street food hot off the grill

• Refreshing mocktails and sweet treats to keep you buzzing

• Crafts, trinkets, and locally made gifts perfect for browsing or last-minute birthday finds

• Live music to turn your stroll into a vibe

• And yes, it’s proudly pet-friendly, so your four-legged companion doesn’t have to miss out

Entry costs just R20, and kids under 12 get in free, a small price for a big night out.

Family First, Vibes Always

More than just a market, this event makes space for all ages and personalities. You’ll find young couples on date nights, grannies with crocheted bags full of jam, and teenagers dancing by the live music stage. And of course, the dogs, decked out in bandanas and sniffing every biltong stand in sight.

It’s wholesome, it’s homegrown, and it feels like Pretoria at its best.

What You Should Know

To keep the experience fun and safe for everyone, organisers have put a few ground rules in place:

• No outside food, drinks, or cooler boxes allowed

• No alcohol for under-18s (ID might be checked)

The event is known for being smoothly run, so you can focus on having a good time. Just don’t forget your comfy shoes and maybe a jersey; it’s still winter, after all.

Pretoria Is Talking

On social media, locals are already tagging their friends and planning carpool routes. “Can’t wait for the chow and vibes!” wrote one Instagram user. Others are posting photos from previous events: colourful food trucks, strings of market lights, and paws in the air mid-dog-jump.

The buzz is real and deserved. Linton’s Corner isn’t just an event; it’s a mood.

So if you’re in or near Pretoria, consider this your official invitation. Whether you’re popping in for dinner or making a night of it with the whole crew, this is one of those simple joys that makes winter in Gauteng feel warm.

See you at the corner.
