Vendors to network at Bastille Day fest

Small and medium enterprises are expected to gain from the upcoming Bastille Day celebrations, following an invitation from organisers of the annual French calendar event.

Around 100 vendors have confirmed bookings for the market day, which will be held at Thurston Garden, on Saturday, July 12, 2020.

The market day will be held in conjunction with Bastille Day celebrations.

French ambassador to Fiji Jean-François Fitou said the market day would help vendors earn some money, particularly female entrepreneurs who were affected by coronavirus pandemic.

Entertainment at the event will be provided by Knox Entertainment and Inside out.

Knox Entertainment director Ella Kalounisiga said although tents will be provided, vendors are encouraged to bring mats to create their own bubble.

Children’s activities have also been incorporated into the day long event.

“Thirty 30 of our financial members will be part of the market day.
