We can always count on Ayala Malls to come up with family-friendly outdoor activities to lure us away from our tablets and smart phones. This summer, Bonifacio High Street (BHS) gives us fun-filled reasons to brave the heat at The Fort by putting up imitation structures of famous landmarks around the globe.
Bonifacio High Street brings the world at your feet with larger-than-life installations inspired by the most iconic structures from all over the world. Revel at the 20-ft. tall Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Louvre, Merlion from Singapore, Paris and Egypt with free ice cream on top! A lot of these structures are cool for your OOTDs so have fun and enjoy your next walk in BHS.
Aside from the sights in BHS, Ayala Malls also organized outdoor activities in the area to celebrate walk-in-the-park lifestyle in the form of recreational sports, photography, pets, music and the arts, food, travel and culture and even a random “Geekery.”
Activities are already gearing up in BHS, starting last April 15 to 17 with 1000 Smiles Thai Festival featuring amazing samplers of Thailand dishes and an ROX (Recreational Outdoor Exchange) Outdoor Festival where participants got to sweat out unwanted pounds and got physical under the summer heat.
Since BHS has pet-friendly parks and walkways, it’s a perfect go-to date place for you and your fur baby. Very few malls or even parks in the country welcome animal companions, but in BHS, they are not only invited – they are the star! Last April 10, Waggin’ Tails happened in the BHS Park organized in collaboration with All4PetsParty. People and their fur friends got to enjoy free vet consultations, pet agility courses, pools and playpens, and got to take home loads of freebies. The fun will continue with The Great Shih Tzu Walk at the Activity Center and 9th Avenue on May 7. This will be hosted by Royal Canin in an attempt to break the Guinness world record for the biggest gathering of same breed dogs. So tick that calendar and get your pooches geared up for this fun activity.
Artist’s block? BHS has got you covered in time for your deadline. Soak in inspiration with the Arts and Music brought to you by The Coffee Bean festivities on April 30. Get treated to an all-sensory experience with live music from the best talents of BGC Impromptu; bring home unique and creative trinkets from the BGC Art Mart; and hone brand new skills with the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s free creative movement workshops and improvisation classes. Did we mention there will be free coffee too? Sold!
Mother’s love is the closest we’re ever going to get to unconditional Love – well, maybe next to a dog’s love. But anyway, take the first woman in your life on her day this May 8 (Mother’s Day) as Bonifacio High Street celebrates one of the most popular working holidays in partnership with Mommy Mundo. On that day, our moms will get to enjoy inspirational talks, on-stage activities and charming gifts and prizes!
The month of May will be Sole-full as BHS literally “walks” you into an inter-generation selection of popular sneaker models. Calling all sneakerheads and running enthusiasts for a weekend to remember on May 21 and 22. Bonifacio High Street will showcase your favorite kicks from all the big names in the kicks industry. Indulge in exclusive promos and discounts from popular brands such as Sole Academy, Adidas, Nike, and more, while enjoying fun game booths and live music from some of the best DJs!
The community of Geeks will find another space to converge and share their unique hobbies at the “United Geekdom” weekend on May 21 to 22. Activities featured in these events celebrate the comic-driver life with Lightsaber Demos, Game of Thrones (GOT) Quiz Nights, and a showcase of Lego, comic books and other collector items.
Because even a selfie falls short sometimes, capping off the summer festivities is the CameraHaus Photo Festival from May 28 to 29. This is not only for photographers and hobbyists because the festival will include special summer discounts and promos from various camera brands, photo contests and lectures and amazing giveaways.
