A woman from Johannesburg shared her latest find on her TikTok page on 6 February 2026. She showed everything that comes with a night out to the Fourways Night Market: food, music and vibes, all without an entry fee. The market is a perfect spot for those looking for something fun to do on a Friday night.

She walked through the market set up in the Drop-Off Zone outside Bounce at Fourways Mall, just off Ruby Close. There were food stalls everywhere, from seafood paella to curry, doughnuts and coffee. Live musicians played for the crowd while people sat, ate and caught up with each other. Kids had games to keep them busy while adults browsed the stalls and soaked up the atmosphere.
