# Event Details - **Event Name**: Fantastic Fordsburg (Foodsburg) Food & History Tour - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 02 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am (+02:00) - **Event Description**: 🍽️ FORDSBURG (FOODSBURG) FOOD & HISTORY TOUR 🕌🎨🛍️ Get ready for a flavour-packed walk through one of Johannesburg’s most vibrant, diverse, and delicious neighbourhoods! We start the experience at **Shalimar Delights**, a beloved hub for traditional Indian sweet meats — think rich, fudge-like treats that set the tone for the journey ahead. From there, we step into the colourful streets of Fordsburg, where food, culture, and history collide in the best possible way. ✨ First stop: Lilian Road Studios We pause to admire an incredible mosaic by local artist Hannelie Coetzee — a striking piece of urban storytelling. 🍻 Then we swing by Archie’s — a legendary, no-frills Jozi dive bar famous for cold beers and iconic polony sandwiches. As we explore, we unpack how food traders and merchants helped shape life on the Witwatersrand, turning Fordsburg into one of the city’s true cultural crossroads. We pass the iconic Oriental Plaza and uncover its deeper history tied to forced removals — stories that shaped Johannesburg as we know it today. And then… the FEAST begins 😋 Around Market Square, the world comes together on a single block: Turkish, Pakistani, Greek, Syrian, and South Indian flavours all in one place. 🍴 Highlights include: • 🥙 House of Schwarma • 🍯 House of Baklava • 🥥 Dosa Hut — authentic South Indian favourites • 🔥 Syrian rose— famous for some of Jozi’s best value Döner kebabs • 🥤 The Juice Den — fresh, ice-cold refreshers Plus plenty of street food along the way: Samosas, rotis, pies, spring rolls, and fresh fruit juices that keep you going as you explore. We wrap up the tour with full hearts, happy bellies, and shopping bags heavier than we planned. 💡 Tip: Bring extra bags… you WILL want to stock up! 📅 Upcoming Dates: 19 July / 3 August 💸 R270 per person 📞 Bookings & enquiries: 083 206 2262 - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/johannesburg/fantastic-fordsburg-foodsburg-food-and-history-tour/200030180353240 - **Event Categories**: food-drinks, art, food-truck-festivals, shopping, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 52 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Johannesburg - **state**: GT - **country**: South Africa - **location**: Fordsburg Square - **lat**: -26.20477 - **long**: 28.0209 - **full address**: Fordsburg Square, Discreet by Ayesha Rajah, Commercial Rd, Johannesburg, 2092, South Africa ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Fantastic Fordsburg (Foodsburg) Food & History Tour - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/cbf540e72071866bea1fd0063106a6c0d70604e8209e4556d6e1a9a61416d32e-rimg-w1200-h900-dc191214-gmir?v=1784147776 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Fantastic Fordsburg (Foodsburg) Food & History Tour being held? - **A:** Fantastic Fordsburg (Foodsburg) Food & History Tour takes place on Sun, 02 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sun, 02 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am at Fordsburg Square, Discreet by Ayesha Rajah, Commercial Rd, Johannesburg, 2092, South Africa. - **Q**: Who is organizing Fantastic Fordsburg (Foodsburg) Food & History Tour ? - **A:** Fantastic Fordsburg (Foodsburg) Food & History Tour is organized by TimeTraveller Adventures. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at TimeTraveller Adventures's events? - **A:** Attendees have given TimeTraveller Adventures a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
