Adding to the excitement, SCP Security made a special appearance with their private fire, search, and rescue truck, which was a big hit with children and adults alike.

Fairlands SAPS worked tirelessly in collaboration with the Fairlands CPF and Community Cleaners to ensure the day was safe and enjoyable for everyone. Their efforts were appreciated by attendees, who enjoyed the day without any concerns.
The Spring Day market is more than just a market, it’s a celebration of community spirit. The event allowed residents to not only shop but also to connect with their neighbours and support local businesses. Many are already looking forward to the 2025 edition, eager to experience another day of sunshine, fun, and community togetherness.
It was, without a doubt, a day to remember for Fairlands.
