Bogyoke Aung San Market celebrates centenary

A historic landmark and a tourist destination in Yangon, the Bogyoke Aung San Market’s centenary celebration opened yesterday.

The centenary celebration was opened with a ribbon-cutting led by Yangon Region Chief Minister U Aung Naing Thu and officials.

Along with the regional chief minister, regional cabinet members, department officials and guests attended the ceremony, and they visited stalls at the market. Artistes entertained the audience with their music and dance performances.

The centenary celebration started on 7 October and will end on 11 October.

The market, which is located on Bogyoke Aung San Road in Pabedan Township and formerly known as Scott Market, was established in 1926. It was named after Mr Gavin Scott, the Municipal Commissioner of the time. In 2026, Yangon’s iconic heritage market reaches its centenary, standing as a living testament to the city’s history and culture.
