In addition to retail and culinary delights, the event features a variety of engaging activities designed to make the experience more memorable. The DIY Corner by MPB Crafts and Charm Bar PH invites visitors to create their own jewelry and crafts, while color analysis sessions by Hue Theory help guests elevate their style for the season.
