Geylang Serai’s Ramadan Bazaar May 2024: Back on the Ground!
After a two‑year hiatus, the famous People’s Association (PA) Ramadan Bazaar might finally be up for grabs in April. Calenders, start chanting – the market’s on the cards once again!
How the Hints Pop Up
- BeritaMediacorp mentioned a PA tender looking for a new event organiser, targeting Wisma Geylang Serai as the venue.
- Entsche Events stepped in on Facebook (March 10) with a bold “Yes! You all heard it right! We’re as excited as you are!”
- Ramadan this year begins on April 2, so the bazaar will likely open April 1 to give folks a taste of the festivities a day early.
Who’s Poised to Take the Helm?
Mustaffa Shah, the brain behind Entsche Events, confirmed he’ll put in a bid. He plans a cozy nine‑decker of stalls—fewer than 40—a lot smaller than past editions.
What You Can Expect
- Mid‑weight operation: under 40 stalls means a tighter, more intimate crowd.
- Smaller than the 2019 giant with 500 stalls that drew over two million visitors.
- Reflection of the 2021 virtual bazaar, which offered 60 F&B vendors and 30 retail merchants.
A Bit of History
When the event was online in 2021, it proved that the spirit of community can thrive even behind a screen. Now, with the world loosening its grip, Geylang Serai’s streets might once again hum with the scent of satay and the chatter of families.
Stay tuned, share the news with friends, and keep your calendars marked. Whether it’s a mass market or a boutique bazaar, the sense of community will still be front and centre. Cheers!
