3 upcoming alternative weekend markets you should check out
Tired of your run-of-the-mill fleas? Head to these cool, artisanal ones instead.
If pilfering through someone's used clothes and generic dresses aren't your thing, you're in for a treat with these new and hyperlocal fleas. Focusing on locally-made products that range from jams and granolas to crafts, these markets offer more than just a shopping experience. There's music, food and drink to be had - all in the name of a good time.
Held in a discreet alleyway on Hoot Kiam Road, this cool new night market sounds like a street party of sorts with live music by local singer-songwriters, bands and DJs. An artists' market with vendors like Raw Constructs and UltraViolet Designs are on site to peddle their locally-made wares, while food booths with the likes of Morsels, The Edible Company and The Hunters' Kitchenette will satisfy late night munchies.
Design-centric and health-conscious products from famous juice cleanse 'hic juice, Naiise and other local brands like Mofo Chilli are showcased at this wellness fair. Styled like a home, complete with a living room, bathroom, and 'bed', the space will also hold workshops like floral arrangement and meditation sessions.
Chefs of hip eateries like East 8 and Rokeby will dish out dishes in APS Lifestyle Gallery's state-of-the-art kitchen in this edition of MCM's pop-up lifestyle market. Local makers will also be selling their products from granolas and jams to fashion and skincare. Look out for brands like Sifr, Whole9Yards and Mandy T.
