Different Interests Find Their Place at the Mall
GENERAL SANTOS CITY- The opening days of November continued the activities of SINDAK: GTEX Spookfest 2026, held at the Event Center of SM City General Santos from October 29 to November 2. Its program featured cosplay gatherings, a costume parade, tabletop and card games, a Beyblade event, and activities for toy and pop-culture enthusiasts. The schedule gave fans of different hobbies an opportunity to meet others who share their interests. It also showed how themed mall events can bring together communities that might not usually gather in the same space.
A Pre-Holiday Bazaar Filled with Local Finds
Another featured activity was Gensan MatchaFest Volume 5 and its Pre-Holiday Bazaar, which ran from October 29 to November 2 at the mall's Atrium. Participating vendors offered matcha drinks, baked goods, Filipino delicacies, creative crafts, collectibles, fashion items, and other specialty products. A stamp rally also encouraged visitors to explore participating booths while discovering different brands and products. Beyond the seasonal shopping atmosphere, the bazaar provided participating small businesses and independent sellers with a venue to introduce their offerings to mallgoers.
