July 2025 – LOCKAL Creative Market by Daramera hit the scene with some serious style, soul and a whole lot of local flair at JAM PJ!
Not your run-of-the-mill market, LOCKAL is all about shining the spotlight on local artisans. The creators, the makers and the dreamers!
Bringing in over 80 brands, both seasoned favourites and exciting startups, it was a two-day treasure trove exploration! Dope fits? Cute lil’ add-ons? Artsy pieces? Mouthwatering bites? Adorable robotic pets? Scent-sational perfumery? LOCKAL had it all! (okay, maybe not robotic pets, but they did have some oddly aesthetic floating jellyfishes)
Some standouts? There was everyone’s beloved matcha from Kofi by JH; superfood-infused mocktails by MocktailsOnTheGo; juicy oysters from Oyster Bois; ciabatta-meets-tenderloin drip by 2 Guys; rare collectibles courtesy of Carlos Khu; and so much more!
The market wasn’t just about shopping, either. Enters Zin Sisi with a high-energy class of Zumba. With upbeat music that had everyone moving, grooving and sweating in style, the space was turned into a full-on movement zone. Endorphins? Totally checked off the list!
The action didn’t stop there! Adding to the mix was a model casting session that turned heads. Aspiring talents took their moment in the limelight, strutting their stuff in front of industry eyes. The runway dreams were very much alive and the potential? Unmissable.
From style-seekers to curious explorers, the market drew in everyone looking for something different. It was more than an event, but rather a local celebration of creativity culture and youthful energy.
