Hi Vendors,
We are thrilled to introduce the inaugural World Christmas Market Singapore (WCM), organized by AP Media, where we will be closely collaborating to organize the Xmas Bazaar. Held at The Promontory @ Marina Bay from 5 – 25 December 2024, this market will be an immersive festive experience centred around all things Christmas, inspired by the popular Christmas markets of Europe.
Visitors will be able to enjoy international savoury foods such as German bratwurst, Belgian waffles, French crepes, Asian favourites, and much more. In addition, there will be a craft market catered to festive shopping, along with a variety of activities including a Singing Christmas Tree, gingerbread bouncy castle, an augmented reality tour of Santa’s workshop, stage performances, a children’s village, and many other exciting concepts. The event will also feature sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and fundraising initiatives for charity, such as workshops to create Christmas décor using recycled materials, and a wishing tree for the underprivileged. Paired with sponsors and partners ranging from MBS, several publications, embassies and corporations, this event is shaping up to be a real treat.
The Promontory @ Marina Bay is a perfect setting for the World Christmas Market, offering a stunning river view with a backdrop of the city skyline, Marina Bay Sands, and Keppel Harbour. It is also an easily accessible and visible location, where both tourists and locals can effortlessly join in the festivities. Between the market’s seasonal charm, the scenic landscape, and the activities, the World Christmas Market aims to bring families, friends, colleagues, and people from all walks of life together to celebrate the festive season.
