The Souk

Australian Refugee Association

This is a curated  market experience like no other!  Take a trip to the souks of the Middle East, Northern Africa and Western  Asia

Tonsley Innovation District

The Souk is part of the Australian Refugee Association’s Refugee Week celebrations. We are thrilled to be bringing the bustling and exciting vibe of a Souk experience to Adelaide.Souks can be found in the Middle East, Africa and even in parts of Asia. Traditionally souks were on trade routes, marketplaces for Merchants to stop, rest, sell their wares, trade and meet old friends and aquaintances. Souk's are a myriad of interesting, eclectic discoveries as you meander through the maze of laneways and nooks. The Souk will be very different from a normal Australian market. You'll hear music you may not have heard before, see vibrant colours, textures and patterns, be delighted by roving cultural entertainers, performers and buskers. Stalls will be packed full of colour, interesting products and ...then there is the street food from around the world your tastebuds will thank you for. Take home a momento from our Middle Eastern inspired photo booth styled and created by local Iraqi artist, Nooralhuda AzizWe have curated a wide variety of “merchants” selling fresh produce, spices, oils, plants and flowers, street food, artisan produce and handicraft products such as jewellery, textiles, gifts and paintings. It will be a feast for the senses and a place of gathering with your friends and family….and a VERY multicultural experience with no passport required!T﻿he Souk is fully undercover so a wintery day wont bother us. And for those who know the Tonsley Innovation District where the former Mitsubishi car factory used to be, The Souk is right next to the gorgeous Central Rainforest. Loads of parking and seating for a full family day outH﻿ead over to our Facebook event for spotlights of our Merchants, entertainers and performers, and souk updates as we bring The Souk to life over the coming weeks! S﻿ee you Soon ~ Ksenija, The Souk Manager
