OWINO MARKET IN KAMPALA CITY

Owino Market is the largest open market in Uganda , occupying 7.04 hectares of land in Kampala, Uganda . It was established in 1971 when Kampala City Council relocated 320 vendors from Nakasero Market.
Initially, the Kampala City Council named it the Municipal Market, but the vendors later changed it to Owino Market after an elderly man called Owino whom they found in the area roasting maize and sweet potatoes. The initial structures were made of papyrus, then replaced by iron sheets and subsequently renovated with timber.
It’s estimated that there are over 50,000 vendors/traders in Owino Market, of whom approximately 70 percent are women. Thousands of customers visit this market on a daily basis, and the numbers tend to increase significantly a few days before public holidays and the festive seasons.
Owino Market is famously known for its secondhand clothes, but you can buy everything from herbs to home appliances, bedsheets, foodstuff, shoes, bags and so much more! It shouldn’t come as a surprise if you find yourself spending more time than you planned in Owino – the diversity of the fare is very attractive, and once you’re inside, it is quite hard to find your way out. It is the only place where you can go and get everything you want at ounce.
