Celebrating Women’s Day, Main Street Sundays are back on the streets of Johannesburg on August 9. Following the success of the first event in April, which attracted more than 5 000 visitors to the city, Jozi My Jozi is hosting another day for everyone to experience the inner city from a new perspective.
“It will be a day for pedestrians, cyclists, prams, wheelchairs and skaters to have total right of way, making it a safe, open playground for friends and families,” said Dawn Robertson, Visitor and Creative Economy Catalyst at Jozi My Jozi.
“It’s not a commercial event. It’s a charge-free day and there is no need to rush to get to a stage or a performance: it’s essentially about human connection. Main Street Sundays is a chance to meet Jozi at a chilled, walking pace. Not with one eye over your shoulder or through a window inside your locked car but slowly and appreciatively as you wander down the street with family, friends and colleagues.”
