On December 2, 2018, the beautiful grounds of Zwakala River Retreat hosted the final Mina Neighborhood Market of the year. This celebrated quarterly Sunday market stands as a staple calendar highlight for locals and travelers alike.
Designed as the ultimate weekend escape. The Mina Market consistently delivers a wholesome, energetic day where families and friends connect over spectacular artisan food, live music, and open-air entertainment.
Why the Mina Neighborhood Market Captivates Visitors
The collaboration between Zwakala and the curated vendor lineup creates a unique, festive atmosphere that captures the best of the region’s talent:
Wholesome Family Fun: With wide-open green spaces, clean mountain air, and curated kids’ activities, the market offers a safe, inviting environment for all ages to unwind.
Artisan Culinary Delights: Food lovers flock to the market to sample an array of gourmet street food, fresh local produce, and unique regional treats crafted by passionate local chefs.
Live Local Beats: Soulful live music floats across the river lawns, providing the perfect acoustic backdrop for an afternoon of relaxation and laughter.
The market hosted an estimate of 400 people on Sunday. All were happily delighted by the wide range of delicious foods. From sushi, burgers, pizza, Mexican dishes and cheeses to wholesome cakes and fresh herbs. Let us not forget the Zwakala Beer on tap and wide selection of wine.
Entertainment was not skimped on, as all (young and old) enjoyed the vibrant and jivy marimba band!
