A celebration of music, family, food and community as Roodepoort Theatre brings the West Rand together for an unforgettable Sunday experience.

Roodepoort Theatre is turning up the entertainment this October as South Africa’s celebrated female music group, Jamali, takes Centre stage as the headline act at the West Rand Family Market on Sunday, 25 October 2026, from 11:00 to 18:30.

Presented by Roodepoort Theatre in partnership with Evo Events, the West Rand Family Market promises a vibrant day of live entertainment, delicious food, local shopping and family activities, bringing together residents from across the West Rand and surrounding communities.

Known for their captivating performances, beautiful harmonies and contribution to South African music, Jamali will bring their signature sound and stage presence to this community celebration. Their headline performance adds a special musical experience to a market that continues to position Roodepoort Theatre as more than just a performance venue, but a cultural and social gathering space for the community.

The West Rand Family Market is a monthly initiative that takes place on the last Sunday of every month, providing an exciting platform for local entrepreneurs, artists, food vendors and small businesses to connect with new audiences. The initiative forms part of Roodepoort Theatre’s broader commitment to audience development, community engagement and creating accessible entertainment experiences that bring the arts closer to the people.

Beyond Jamali’s headline performance, visitors can look forward to a diverse line-up of live performances featuring talented West Rand artists, an exciting selection of food and craft stalls, including Halal food vendors, and a variety of activities designed for the entire family.

Music lovers will also have an opportunity to take part in the popular monthly Karaoke Competition, where participants stand a chance to win cash prizes, a dining experience at Joburg STAGES Restaurant and tickets to productions at Joburg City Theatres. Visitors can also participate in a lucky draw for tickets to a Roodepoort Theatre production of their choice.

STAGES Restaurant will further complement the market experience with a specially curated market menu, giving families and friends another reason to spend their Sunday enjoying good food, entertainment and the atmosphere of the theatre grounds.

The West Rand Family Market is not only about entertainment, but also about creating opportunities for local businesses and talent to thrive. Through partnerships and community-driven initiatives, Roodepoort Theatre continues to strengthen its relationship with the communities it serves while contributing to the creative economy and supporting small business development.

The inclusion of Jamali as a headline performer reflects the theatre’s commitment to presenting a balanced entertainment offering that celebrates established South African artists while creating visibility for emerging local talent.

Whether visitors are coming to enjoy the music, discover local products, support small businesses, participate in the karaoke competition or simply spend quality time with loved ones, the West Rand Family Market promises something for everyone.

This October, all roads lead to Roodepoort Theatre, where Jamali, local talent and the community come together for a Sunday filled with music, culture and family entertainment.
