The District North Point: A Christmas Pop-Up Bazaar is Happening This Weekend

For the last weekend before Christmas, shoppers will be treated to more local merchandise and more discounts at the Christmas Pop-Up Bazaar at The District North Point, Talisay. So if you haven’t completed your shopping yet, go to The District starting today, December 18, until December 20 and check out the stores that are opening these weekend only. Hours are extended, too.

So, What’s Poppin’?
The Christmas Pop-Up Shop is a holiday bazaar that gathers local businesses in one location in order to provide clients with a unique shopping experience. It’s going to be a three-day event only but it is jam-packed with all kinds of home decors, handicrafts, artworks, baked goodies, pasalubong treats, toys, gift sets, garments, fashion accessories, cosmetics and personal care, natural and organic products, and other unique and hard-to-find items under one roof.

Spreading Holiday Cheer
Apart from making your shopping quick and easy while everybody is rushing, the Christmas Pop-Up Shop will showcase several activities and giveaways that are sure to bring smiles and enable clients to make memories with their families and friends.

Now on its second year, the Christmas Pop-Up Shop is more interactive and engaging. Children can play, read, color, and write about their favorite time of the year at the Kids Activity Nook. Then, shoppers and sellers can express themselves and inspire others by posting their unforgettable and meaningful Christmas experiences through the ‘Book of Christmas Memories’. And also spreading laughter will be Kris Kringle himself at the Meet and Greet Santa activity at the mall.

Sharing the Love
Of course, to complete this year’s Christmas celebration, shoppers can opt to share their blessings to the kids of Suntown Camp Foundation, Inc. The kids under the foundation are battling cancer and other serious illnesses. Everyone is invited to share their books or leave an inspiring message or donate a gift for the children. On December 18, homegrown talents will come together to perform and create happy memories with these special guests from the foundation during the gift-giving activity.

Helping Businesses Grow
This Christmas, it’s all about stories. Gato Verde, A Marketing, PR and Events Company specializing in pop-up events such as The Weekend Souk, Food Fair, Kidsville, and Kidtrepreneur, delights in the stories of how different local businesses grow and their desire is to share those stories with others by helping them reach out to the rest of the city. Through these pop-up events, Gato Verde aims to provide avenues to introduce and promote local entrepreneurs and start-up businesses.

Joining us this year as an activity sponsor in the Christmas Pop-Up shop will be Quino’s Cakes and Cupcakes. A while back they began by selling their cupcakes and other pastries at Gato Verde’s Weekend Souk. Today, they come back sharing how success has decorated their business with popularity among Bacolodnons.

Another is Carefreeshopper, whose regular presence in Gato Verde’s Weekend Souk has allowed them to establish their identity in the city and reach out to local make-up enthusiasts.

Tickled Tripper, another regular seller at Gato Verde’s Pop-Up events, has now increased their reach with their collections displayed at the Negros Showroom.

“There are more start-up entrepreneurs to discover at the Christmas Pop-Up Shop this year. We invite the community to take part in buying and supporting local brands and products especially this Christmas season. We hope to hear more success stories from our local sellers through the support of the community”, Kitkat Lobaton, Founder and Managing Director of Gato Verde, said.

Visit the Christmas Pop-Up Shop on Dec. 18, 19 and 20, from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm at The District North Point, Ayala, Talisay City.
