The Vhembe Crafts Market hosted at the picturesque Thohoyandou Botanical Gardens in collaboration with The LACC (The Limpopo Arts and Culture Council), Univen, TBF, and Vhembe FM, this exciting quarterly event promises a day filled with creativity, entertainment, and local culture.
A Unique Market Experience
Taking place from 9:00 AM until late, the Vhembe Crafts Market offers an all-day experience featuring live performances by local bands during the day and DJs entertaining crowds well into the evening. With various food and craft stalls, this event invites everyone to immerse themselves in the rich, diverse culture of the region.
The crafts market also provides a dedicated Kiddies Craft and Play Area, making it a perfect outing for families of all ages. Whether you’re a foodie, art enthusiast, music lover, or just looking for a fun day out with loved ones, there’s something for everyone.
Empowering Local Talent and Entrepreneurs
One of the primary objectives of the Vhembe Crafts Market is to create opportunities for TBF members to showcase their products and connect directly with clients. Vhembe FM plays a crucial role by highlighting local talent and giving artists a platform to perform, engage with fans, and expand their reach.
Furthermore, the Thohoyandou Botanical Gardens will showcase their scenic grounds through guided nature walks, adding a touch of adventure and relaxation to the event. This is not just a market; it’s an experience that blends art, culture, business, and nature.
Enhancing Skills Through Workshops and Roadshows
As part of our commitment to community development, the University of Venda’s Music School will host workshops for all participating musicians, concluding with a dialogue and jam session. Entrepreneurs and creatives will benefit from TBF’s Business Skills Transfer Day, aimed at equipping artists with practical knowledge to thrive in their industries.
Additionally, we’re excited to announce our Roadshow initiative – an art installation at Thavhani Mall, coupled with a night market to auction artwork and raise funds for local artists and art programs.
Marketing Strategy
Our marketing strategy is built on three pillars: Radio, Social Media, and strategically planned Activations. Through partnerships with Vhembe FM, Bulldog Advertising, and other regional platforms, we are ensuring maximum visibility and engagement across Limpopo Province.
Expect to see vibrant promotions across social media channels, radio advertisements, digital billboards, and flyers distributed throughout Thohoyandou CBD, local universities, e-hailing taxis, and more. Posters will also be placed along major roads, taxi ranks, and malls to attract a diverse audience.
