Hi Huneybees,
How was your Great Singapore Sales haul coming along? Last weekend, it was amazing shopping fun when we all shopped amongst great music, performance fun! Were you there for the Pedestrian Night On Orchard Road?
This monthly event was back after a two month break and this time with a vengeance plus an extension till December 2015! Shout "Woohoo!" with me to more great shopping fun and deals!
What is the Pedestrian Night all about?
You do not know what you have been missing if you have not attended one before, my huneybees! On the first Saturday evening of every month, the stretch from ION Orchard (Scotts Road) to Paragon (Bideford Junction) will be closed for all traffic, from 6pm to 11pm, and shoppers are free to roam onto the streets! Of course, these Pedestrian Nights are all specially planned with a specific theme every month. And with this comeback, starting from July till December, Orchard Road is yet again transformed into playground for all!
For July, in conjunction with Great Singapore Sale (GSS), it was a tie up with the Orchard Road retail stores for in-mall shopping activities, special deals and contests, on top of an array of bustling activities one would never expect to see on the streets of the iconic shopping boulevard.
Along with that, there were also buskers performances along the whole stretch, the kids were definitely kept entertained whilst mothers did their shoppings! There was balloon sculpturing, wire name twisting crafts along with singing and dancing. *No clowning around though*
And speaking of great deals, shoppers at Metro Paragon also received a $10 Metro Gift Voucher with minimum $100 purchase in a single receipt while enjoying saving up to 50% at its Shoes & Bags Fair.
But I really bagged it big at the Wing Tai Stores - Miss Selfridge, Topshop, Warehouse, Ben Sherman, etc. All those pieces I had been drooling over, were all snagged up by me coz I simply couldn't resist the fabulous saving of additional 15% off on top of the 50% discount on selected pieces!!!
Envy? Well, you better be there for next month's Pedestrian Night On Orchard Road coz we will be all decked in red and white for Singapore's Golden Jubilee on 1 August 2015. Themed as SG50 "Red and White" Party, Orchard Road will be celebrating Singapore's pioneers, stories and national milestones from 1965 to current day through the Pioneer Portraits Initiative. Come walk down Singapore's memory lane through a visual tour of the arts...
The rest of the month's Pedestrian Night On Orchard Road will also feature:
Thanks to the great team behind the Pedestrian Night On Orchard Road! I can't wait to be there for more of these nights! Thank you to organizers - Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA) and Singapore Tourism Board (STB) for working tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure that the whole fanfair went smoothly and safely.
