Popular bazaar Night At Orchard is returning after a four-year hiatus on Good Friday (Mar 29).
Night At Orchard is set to transform the pedestrian walkways of Orchard Road into a vibrant marketplace, said Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA) in a press release on Mar 21.
The first event will run for three days from 3pm to 10pm, kicking off the first of 10 monthly events showcasing emerging local and regional brands, organised by ORBA and events agency INVADE.
Held on the last week of every month, the event will feature a different theme, varying from wellness to pets to sustainability.
For the upcoming March edition, visitors can look forward to more than 50 booths located from the front of Wisma Atria to Ngee Ann City, ranging from food and beverages, retail and lifestyle brands, as well as workshops and games.
Notably, homegrown Japanese-inspired minimalist furniture brand Nine.N will host games, where participants compete to change the cover of their Kaiteki recliners in the fastest time possible.
Other pop-up stores include homegrown ice cream and baked goods brand The Ice Cream & Cookie Co., The Ink Book, which does temporary tattoos, semi-permanent tattoos and digital tattoos, and Naked Glory which sells vintage watches.
There are also plans to bring in more brands from around the region, including Loma.Whale from Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, which sells Thailand-sourced linen and cotton clothes and bags, said ORBA.
Future editions of Night At Orchard will feature creative brands from Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea, and will also include other parts of the shopping district, added ORBA. This includes the pedestrian walkways from ION Orchard to Ngee Ann City, and from Forum The Shopping Mall to Wheelock Place.
ORBA Chairman Mark Shaw said: “In recent years, Singapore has seen a flourishing number of young entrepreneurs, not just in the tech sector but also in F&B, lifestyle and entertainment sectors.
“The return of Night At Orchard underscores ORBA’s commitment to supporting Singapore’s fledgling brands by offering valuable exposure to both residents and tourists along Singapore’s most iconic shopping street.”
He added that the 2019 launch of Night At Orchard was well received, and that many vendors expressed their disappointment when pandemic-related restrictions forced it to be suspended the following year.
Brands interested in hosting a booth during any of the 2024 editions of Night At Orchard can sign up online through INVADE’s website at nao.sg.
