MALKERNS- Dust off the boots, grab the cowboy hat and get ready to ride into a different kind of Saturday because the Eswatini Farmers Market is taking a Wild West turn with its 2026 theme, “LOOK LIKE A COWBOY.”
Set for October 10, 2026 at Malkerns Country Club, the lifestyle event is expected to transform the venue into a colourful meeting point for music, fashion, arts, food and lifestyle, with revellers encouraged to swap their everyday looks for denim, boots, cowboy hats and all things Western.
The theme was announced by Farmers Market Director and founder Mbekezile “Culolam” Dlamini, who said the 2026 edition will give attendees an opportunity to embrace the cowboy spirit.
“The 2026 theme is ‘LOOK LIKE A COWBOY’,” Dlamini said.
Rather than simply attending the event, festival-goers are being invited to become part of the experience by dressing for the theme and bringing their own interpretation of the Wild West to Malkerns.
The Farmers Market will combine entertainment with lifestyle experiences, bringing together music, fashion, food, arts and businesses under one roof. The event has become a platform where local creativity, entrepreneurship and entertainment meet, attracting people looking for both a social experience and a taste of Eswatini’s growing lifestyle scene.
For those planning their cowboy adventure, tickets are already available through Carrot Tickets. General admission costs E300, children’s tickets are E120, while VIP tickets are priced at E750.
With three ticket categories catering for different audiences, families, friends and VIP guests can all prepare for a day where cowboy culture meets Eswatini’s vibrant creative scene.
As October approaches, one question will dominate the fashion conversation: Who will wear the best cowboy look?
At Malkerns Country Club, the answer will be revealed when the Farmers Market opens its gates on October 10.
For now, the instruction from the organisers is clear — don’t just come to the Farmers Market. Come looking like a cowboy.
