Summer is in Full Swing at Bonifacio High Street

AS we usher summer 2017—PAGASA has just announced its official arrival—we now prepare ourselves mentally and physically for the hot season, OR we prepare for exciting and interesting activities under the sun.

I suggest we the do the latter because Bonifacio High Street (BHS) in Taguig City has already lined up a series of festivities until May. Dubbed Summer on the Street, it dedicates every weekend to different passions and interests including pets, food, fitness, reflection, the outdoors, music, the arts, geekery and more!

The Summer Food Fest kicked off the festivities last March 25 and 26 with homegrown and well-loved food brands and food trucks along 9th Avenue. This was followed by the Pet Summit on April 2 at the BHS Park for an adorable showcase of a variety of animals, including a few exotic ones.

Walkway: Reflections on the Stations of the Cross is BHS's annual commemoration of Holy Week

This coming weekend, Summer on the Street marks Holy Week with the opening of Walkway: Reflections on the Stations of the Cross. Running from April 9 to 16, Walkway is BHS’s annual commemoration the Stations of the Cross through interactive, larger-than-life displays.

This week-long reflection culminates with a concert by the international rock band Switchfoot at the Bonifacio High Street Amphitheater on April 16, 7pm.

Kids are not left behind because an Easter Egg hunt is in order also on April 16 at the BHS Activity Center. There will also be adventures, magic shows, a petting zoo, carnival booths, and loads of treats.

After Holy Week, get fit while having fun at the Health & Wellness Weekend slated on April 22 and 23. It offers free community workouts, a fair for all things organic, and fun games and challenges at the BHS Amphitheater. This event is in partnership with Lifestyle Network.

How about glamping in the city? This unique outing happens on April 29 and 30 at the BHS Park where a campsite will rise in the middle of the city. There, the whole family can enjoy survivor-type challenges and workshops, a boodle fight, s’mores making, and more.

If you still haven’t heard of glamping, portmanteau of “glamor” and “camping” thus an outdoor experience but with modern comforts.

Come May, Summer on the Street levels up with United Geekdom 2, celebrated in time with World Comic Book Day on May 7. Expect hordes of comic enthusiasts who’ll bring the house down with their passion for all things geek.

From geeks, moms then take the center stage at BHS on their special day on May 14. During this Mother’s Day Weekend, BHS partners with TLC for surprise activities that give gratitude to the heroes of our lives feel special.

Treat your furry best friend at Waggin' tails on May 21

Waggin’ Tails follows on May 21 at BHS Park, where man’s best friend will be treated to a whole day of fun activities and endless treats.

As a grand finale, a free concert happens on May 27 at the BHS Amphitheater. The final line up or artists will be announced through the BGC’s Facebook page. This celebration of music is staged in partnership with AXN.
