More than 100 vendors will be taking part in Market Outside The Box (Market OTB), a 10-day, grassroots retail movement that brings together the best of local, regional and international designers and entrepreneurs to Burj Park in Dubai.

Market OTB, one of the greatest sources of inspiration during the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), is a huge draw for businesses in the UAE and the wider Gulf.

The shopping and entertainment event, which kicked off last week runs till January 28 boasting more businesses and more creative minds than ever before, said the organisers.

Back by popular demand for the fourth year in a row, Market OTB offers up-and-coming designers a market beyond the traditional walls of a shopping mall.

A record 106 vendors have signed up for the event, where ideas can be shared, connections can be made and singular, bespoke products can be purchased, they stated.

These are the men and women who are creating products and building businesses that generate unique pieces for the most discerning bargain hunters.

This year’s crop of talented artists and business people will be shining a spotlight on the worlds of jewellery design and accessories, home décor and fashion, said the organisers.

On hand will be live entertainment and stage performances for the whole family; children’s activities (including balloon bending, clowns, magicians and bedtime stories) and music concerts; as well as food trucks (The Shebi, Fit Truck and Saj2Go) and food from favourite local eateries (Wingsters, Rock & Rolls, Pinza, Culinary Boutique and Vida), they added.-TradeArabia News Service
