Commencing on Mar 8, 2024, the bazaar promises a delightful fusion of food, shopping, entertainment, and cultural experiences at Wisma Geylang Serai.
Running from Mar 8 to Apr 9 2024, the Geylang Serai Bazaar holds a special place in the hearts of many, drawing crowds each year with its diverse offerings. From delectable culinary delights to unique finds in retail, the bazaar serves as a melting pot of culture and community spirit, eagerly awaited by locals and visitors alike.
Aligned with the observance of Ramadan, which starts on Mar 12, 2024 and culminates in Hari Raya Puasa on Apr 10, 2024, the bazaar reflects the essence of the holy month. For Muslims, Ramadan signifies a period of fasting from dawn to dusk, emphasizing spiritual reflection, discipline, and generosity.
The 2024 edition of the Geylang Serai Bazaar continues the tradition of celebration and togetherness, albeit with some adjustments. While last year boasted over 700 stalls, this year's bazaar will feature a slightly scaled-down version with 500 stalls, including 150 dedicated to food and beverages. Every F&B stall will adhere to strict criteria, ensuring they are either Halal-certified, owned by Muslims, or approved by a Halal certification consultant. Additionally, vendors are mandated to offer two items priced at $3 each, fostering affordability and accessibility for all visitors.
