Now in its third year, the Bodega Design Caravan—organized by the Cebu Culture Art and Design Foundation (CCAD)—continues to showcase the exceptional craftsmanship and creativity of Cebu’s leading designers in furniture, home furnishings, fashion, and accessories. First launched alongside the Visayas Art Fair in 2022, this design exhibition has expanded under the leadership of CCAD President Christina Gaston. This year’s event, held from November 21-24, 2024, will return to Oakridge Pavilion, the event’s valued venue partner for three consecutive years.
BODEGA is set to expand further in 2024, offering even more opportunities for creatives and designers. The event’s swift success has attracted a growing number of participants and exhibitors annually, continually surpassing expectations. With free entry at Oakridge Pavilion, BODEGA invites visitors of all ages with a passion for craft and design. This year’s showcase promises an even broader selection of displays tailored to the tastes and needs of every shopper.
Beyond a marketplace, BODEGA offers a dynamic range of activities, including design talks from Cebu’s prominent designers, hands-on workshops where creatives engage directly with participants, and a fashion show that highlights local talent. New this year is the Food Artisan segment, celebrating culinary artistry and presentation to engage both chefs and food enthusiasts.
Each year, BODEGA enhances its layout at Oakridge Pavilion to provide an even better experience for participants, exhibitors, and visitors, ensuring ample space and a comfortable environment for exploring a diverse range of offerings. The organizers aim to make BODEGA more meaningful, experiential, and impactful for all involved, elevating it as a must-visit event.
