A Fond Farewell (For Now!) To Maji Market

Although the moon has set on Maji Market (for now!), we have so many amazing memories to look back on.
The Food 🤤
At the Maji Market, you could snack on the local, Maji Market-exclusive wares of Delaila and Reth. Or, if you were lucky and got a star-quality version of the dishes, you could display them in your home!

The Goodies 🎁
Of course, food wasn't the only attraction at the Maji Market. You could also grab yourself some of these darling plushies of the local wildlife.

The Photo Ops 📸
Among the the Maji Market were scattered Ormuu and Chapaa standee cutouts. Check out this role-playing Chapaa from Ito!
📸 Ito caught a moment of this Chapaa saying "I wish I were big." Is there a Zoltar machine at the Maji Market?
📸 Fyodor BerryCow and friends camouflaging themselves among the Chapaa Chase.
📸 Is that a group of chapaas, or Kathy and pals?
📸 TheScaryDoggo truly made a memory for the ages with this custom artwork!
The Chaos Chapaa Chasing 🏃♂️
What would the Maji Market be without dozens of Palians running amok snatching up Chapaas in hats night after night? This gentle author can testify that they never got tired of those goofy little critters and the chaos that ensued.

The Fireworks 🎆
There were many dazzling moments at the Maji Market, whether you were buying fireworks from Najuma and Hodari or setting them off by hitting the Janggu drums in just the right way.
