Bazaar Escapade: Noel Bazaar 2013

Noel Bazaar, which is being held at the World Trade Center, features the best gift and personal items from select pool of merchants for the best shopping experience this holiday season. This fair features concessionaires ranging from fashion and beauty items, home decors, food, novelties, Christmas trimmings and other unique and affordable gift items for the upcoming holiday season and beyond. For this reason, it is one of the most awaited Christmas fairs every year.

The Noel Bazaar also features the Dingdong and Marian’s Celebrity Ukay-ukay, which will sell donated items by your favorite Kapuso celebrities. Proceeds of this project will benefit the Kapuso School Development (KSD), Unang Hakbang sa Kinabukasan (UHSK) and Give a Gift: Alay sa Batang Pinoy Christmas Projects of the GMA Kapuso Foundation.

As soon as you enter the venue, you'll be greeted by these lovely and colorful Christmas ornaments. All of these are for sale.

The venue is so big but the fair managed to fill it up with merchants with lots of different finds and interesting things to check out. We went at around noon and there weren't that much people yet, which made it so much easier and enjoyable to look around.

The stage area is at the very end of the hall where you can also find a number of concessionaire (in case you became hungry with all the shopping and walking). A beauty pageant is being held at that time. We missed the Kapuso stars that visited the fair before the pageant but later saw Joyce Ching and Gardo Versoza. They personally attended the buyers at their booth.
