It has been a tough few months for Chiang Mai, but all bad things must come to an end, and we are now ready to look forward to a wonderful winter, which surely is just around the corner.
Well, the annual Citylife Garden Fair is set to kick off the season as usual, with our annual Big Day Out this year being on the 23rd of November, again at the wonderful Boonthavorn Gardens.
Make sure to book your booth – they are selling fast! – and mark your calendar for a fantastic day of great food, drinks, shopping, music and charity.
This year the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Boonthavorn and Citylife have agreed that whatever sums of monies raised will go towards helping people recover from the recent floods. TAT is also looking to leverage the popularity of the fair to boost Chiang Mai tourism and stimulate the economy ahead of the coming high season. We have yet to pin down a foundation, so are open to all suggestions, but rest assured, any monies donated will all go towards flood victims and helping them to rebuild their lives.
Mark your calendar: Saturday 23rd November between 10am and 10pm at Boonthavorn Garden will see up to 10,000 people coming together for a big day of fun, frivolity, and community camaraderie.
If you haven’t been to one of our fabulous fairs, it all began in 2005, when Citylife put on a Garden Fair as a fundraiser for southern Thailand’s victims of the Tsunami. Over the years, millions of baht have been raised for people in need across the region, thanks to the generosity of the Chiang Mai community and all those who come to the Garden Fair. The Chiang Mai Citylife Garden Fair welcomed over 10,000 people last year, and we’re expecting an even bigger turnout this year!
There will be plenty of shopping available, with clothing, organic products, handmade crafts, secondhand goods and lots more on sale.
Join us for this very special event that brings together the community with entertainment for the whole family.
A day of fun for everyone!
