Main Street Sundays Brings a New Rhythm to the City

Experience Johannesburg – One Stylish Step at a Time

This Sunday, Johannesburg invites you to slow down and experience the City of Gold in a beautifully unexpected way. Main Street Sundays returns to the inner city, transforming a typically busy urban thoroughfare into a vibrant, walkable space designed for connection, culture and creativity.

Stretching from Marshalltown to Gandhi Square, Main Street will be closed to traffic and opened entirely to people – creating a rare opportunity to explore the city on foot, at your own pace.

What to Expect

From 10:00 to 17:00, this iconic stretch will come alive with:

• Curated food and drink experiences
• Local music and street performances
• Art, culture and creative expression
• Walking, cycling and skating in a car-free space

Whether you’re sipping something delicious, discovering local talent, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, the day promises a sensory journey through the heart of Jozi.

Main Street Sundays – A Different Kind of Urban Luxury

There’s something quietly luxurious about reclaiming time and space in a fast-paced city. Main Street Sundays captures this beautifully – inviting you to trade traffic for texture, noise for nuance and routine for discovery.

It’s an opportunity to dress for the day (think effortless, city-chic comfort), gather with friends, and rediscover Johannesburg through a slower, more intentional lens.

More Than an Event

Led by Jozi My Jozi in partnership with the Johannesburg Inner City Partnership and the City of Johannesburg, this initiative forms part of a global movement reimagining how we use our cities.

At its core lies the vision of a more walkable Johannesburg – one where public spaces are not just passed through, but truly experienced.
