It was all going so well! Despite a few brief light(ish) showers of rain, the first few hours of the second anual Bazaar Navideño on Saturday the 10th of December were very successful for everyone. But then it rained and rained and rained and the Bazaar Navideño was all but washed away! 

Shopping time at the Bazaar Navideño (part 1) in Altos de Chavón

Before I continue with the sorry tale of a Bazaar that was destroyed by ghastly weather, please remember that the Bazaar Navideño (part 2) will now be taking place this FRIDAY and SATURDAY the 16th and 17th of December, from 4pm – 10pm. AND on Saturday at 3.30pm we have the 1st annual HOLIDAY GOLF CART PARADE – click here for details!

Ok so back to the tragedy that was the Bazaar Navideño (part 1)…..

The Plaza Lama team!

Plaza Lama, sponsor of the Bazaar Navideño hosted a raffle and were giving out special loyalty cards to Casa de Campo villa owners – which offered a RD$500 credit and 5% cash-back fro an entire year!

In the morning /early afternoon the event was a wonderful winter wonderland! Lots of tourists, as well as Casa de Campo residents and villa owners enjoyed a pleasant few hours at the Bazaar Navideño in Altos de Chavón, which boasted Christmas music, fantastic Christmas shopping, a fun kids area with bouncy castles and the giant human beach balls, a laid back lounge with Presidente Beer and Gino’s pizza.

Relaxing with Rústicos y Más Also a sponsor of the event, Rústicos y Más participated with an impressive rustic furniture display – which is still up in Altos de Chavón and you will be able to visit during the Bazaar Navideño (part 2) this Friday and Saturday.

Looking good LUMO!

Lumo were showing off their electric motos, which start at just RD$34,000 and are so energy efficient that with just RD$10 worth of electricity can travel for 30km!

It looks like someone knew it was going to rain…..

Here are a few more happy photos of the Bazaar Navideño (part 1), before the rain came and ruined our party!
