African Market in the Old Town of Winterthur

The colourful African market is a place of inexhaustible richness. From high quality handicrafts to culinary specialities, this market offers a broad range of exotic products.

In Africa, markets serve as meeting places and play an important role in African societies. Everything you need to survive, from food stuff to hygiene products, is available there. After negotiating and agreeing on the price, the events of the day are discussed.

Exchanging the latest news and cultivating friendships at the market is just as important as trading. This is why markets are a wonderful platform for social and cultural activities in African communities.

There is no need to travel far in order to experience the atmosphere of a typical African market: The Afro-Pfingsten Festival offers you the opportunity to witness these fascinating market scenes right in the old town of Winterthur.
