OBZ Market

Over the last 14 years the OBZfestival has consistently showcased the finest crafts that Cape Town offers. Recognising that Observatory has always been at the cutting edge of creativity we have developed OBZ Market to be weekend experience where you can discover enchanting “one-offs”, normally only found in specialised markets scattered all over the peninsula and beyond. From handmade to organic and from award winning to recycled in a casual country style environment, it promises to be the easy going antidote to the prevailing mall madness.

In the past year a team of spotters have scoured, vetted then assembled the most interesting and creative crafters in the Cape. Every browser is guaranteed, to be intrigued, fascinated and downright delighted to discover some of the pure gems of ingenuity and craftsmanship that are being produced right here in the the Mother City. Quality, workmanship, originality, beauty and durability were some of the most salient factors that we took into account in our selection process.

In order to create a more enjoyable and hassle free feel we have moved the OBZ Market to a specially designated area on the corner of Station and Lower Main Roads. As part of our commitment to assisting local entrepreneurs, all the crafters that exhibit at the market will be contactable through this website
