The extra-short month is coming to an end—so get ready to plunge right into the March market madness. On the agenda are a couple of new environmentally conscious marketplaces, some old vintage favourites, and buzzy food bazaars to keep you well-fed throughout the entire month. Shop away.
 

TGIF Free Tasting (Mar 1)

The Straits Wine Company gives us another reason to TGIF with its third and final TGIF Tasting session, happening at their Tai Seng Warehouse Outlet. Stimulate your senses from varieties of wines at the free tasting, or bag a couple of bottled bargains for your very own hoard at home.

The Ethical Beauty Marketplace (Mar 2)

Establishments have been slowly shifting towards the concept of sustainability in terms of products and packaging in the recent years, and we’re all for it. Not sure how to begin with your selection of ethical cosmetics? Fret not. Organised by Beauty Uncovered, the revolutionary marketplace is your one-stop platform to connect with local ethical beauty brands and get tips on how to be as responsible for the environment as you would with your skin. Exchange swatched or lightly used products, explore the world of environmentally conscious local beauty names, and attend masterclasses with green brands like Luxe Botanics and Alcheme Skincare that highlight the salience of sustainability.

Mini Flea Market (Mar 3)

If you’re a lover of vintage toy collectibles, this should already be on your radar. Vintage boutique and cafe Old Habits is organising a mini flea market and swap meet for all kinds of vintage toys. Barter or buy vintage bootleg toys, tin toys, Cultural Revolution toys, and various other figurines and collectibles from avid vintage collectors and like-minded members of the public. You’re free to bring your own treasures to swap, or just have a poke around the big boys.

You'll be sure to find a horde of booths lining Katong Square, hawking all things vintage—haute couture, home decor, keepsakes, jewellery, vinyl records and more. This month, look forward to street magic and live music from nine DJs helming the decks.

GUI Farmers’ Market (Mar 16)

There truly isn’t anything like fresh, organic farm produce, and Ground-Up Initiative (GUI) is hosting its very first farmers’ market to prove just that. Emphasising on the re-invention of the Zero Waste in Foods concept, the market will be preparing a feast for the taste buds with a vege-based menu made almost entirely out of excess or ugly foods. For conscious shoppers, look forward to farm-fresh produce (from the likes of Zenxin Organic Food Singapore and Jurong Frog Farm), natural handmade products, engaging tours and games, and a Pretty Ugly Lunch that will require a ticket. Remember: It’s what’s on the inside that counts.
