Litchi Orchard Market, Umhlali (Next: 19 September 2026)

Update, 24 October 2026: the Litchi Orchard’s own site now says it is renovating, with “The New Litchi Orchard” coming soon, and lists no market dates. Treat the dates below as history, not a schedule.

The Litchi Orchard Market, on Seaforth Avenue in Umhlali, roughly 20 minutes north of Umdloti, runs on the first and third Saturday of every month, from 08:00 to 13:00. It is the most reliably dated recurring event this site’s research turned up in the wider Umdloti area, with around 30 stallholders selling breads, organic vegetables, curries, Indian food, pancakes and preserves.

The next scheduled date, on this recurring pattern, is 19 September 2026. Because this is a recurring fixture rather than a one-off, treat the date as the best current calculation from the published first-and-third-Saturday rule rather than a confirmed listing pulled from that specific week’s promotion. Always check the market’s own page or social pages close to the date for any holiday changes.

This is a solid half-day outing to pair with a Litchi Orchard Market morning and an afternoon back at Umdloti’s beach or tidal pool. It is one of the few dated, recurring “what’s on” fixtures in this part of the North Coast that does not require booking or a ticket.
