Since its sneak peek in June, New Bahru has been making waves in the local scene of homegrown labels, acting as a homebase to several exciting events and pop-ups, including School of Tomorrow, Singapore Design Weekend and the largest edition of sustainable market Green-House.
The streak continues – the lifestyle destination will soon debut its very first instalment of Extra Curious Activities (ECA), a series of design-led fairs where you’ll be able to discover emerging brands and connect with a community.
And getting the ball rolling is the upcoming Merry Market, set to take place this festive season from December 6 to 8, 2024. Here, explore a curated collection of over 30 emerging local brands across beauty, fashion, food, home goods, and pet care, such as Brewlander, A Kind Ooof, Whytespace, FIN Crafted Goods and Postcard, with exclusive appearances by online-only brands like Romi Beauty, SaltRain, and Avant Culture Club. Shop the very best of sustainable fashion, locally crafted coffee, and eco-conscious skincare, all while supporting brands driven by passion and purpose.
For those feeling crafty, Merry Market offers hands-on activities such as crafting your own snow globe with Soilboy or designing a quirky copper bowl with Baremetal – perfect keepsakes for a memorable holiday season. Little ones will enjoy getting creative with festive crafts, including making fairy wings from dried flowers, and there’s even a Christmas face painting station with Chalk N pencils.
Don’t miss out on the unique workshops, like Morning’s coffee cocktail experience, where you can learn to make your own coffee cocktail, all while sipping on curated creations from Roku Gin.
