The New Year’s Bazaar at Silosi is a special event that, for years, has brought together fantastic exhibitors and Belgraders of all generations in the cozy, festive atmosphere of a warehouse filled with our city’s endless energy.
This year as well, we brought together over 30 exhibitors who presented a wide range of products—from art, fashion, cosmetics, and toys to everyone’s favorite gastro treats. Among them were—by now our long-time friends—Mad Med, Bura Bonaca, 2Tales, Ljubichicca, and many others, and we also hosted new exhibitors who delighted all our Silosi forces.
Along with the laughter and hugs that exhibitors and visitors generously shared with one another, DJ and friend of our cultural home, Una Nikolić, made sure to take the atmosphere to an even higher level.
This year, at the initiative of the Gaia pokret, for the first time we also organized a special bazaar for child entrepreneurs! Our little ones displayed their handicrafts, drawings, and decorations, and above all earned their place at the bazaar by bringing toys they donated to other children. In addition, the kids enjoyed the performances “The Search for Santa Claus” and “Vilomeo and Vijulija,” and the biggest excitement came during photo time with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. Besides organizing, for the first time, a bazaar for child entrepreneurs, we also supported our employees from the Silosi team who took part in the bazaar.
The holiday spirit has never been as strong and empathetic as it was this year, as evidenced by the impressions of all the bazaar visitors whose congratulations and messages of gratitude we are still flipping through. Until the next get-together, stay our force!
A new hub of Belgrade’s social life
Silosi, as a new hub of Belgrade’s social life, is a project of the non-profit organization Gaia pokret, whose four pillars of activity are education, art, sport, and environmental protection. At Silosi, many of our artists have presented their work, such as Svetlana Ninković, Dragana Ognjenović, Milena ZeVu, and Mia Stanišić, as well as dozens of students from art faculties in Belgrade, while our leading events—Bitef, EXIT, Belgrade Fashion Week, and many others—have held their programs here.
From the Honey Garden and Silosi apiary came the multi-award-winning honey brand “Mad Med,” and throughout the entire Silosi zone there are regularly exhibitions, food and drink festivals, performances for children and adults, educational panels and conferences, craft workshops, yoga classes, bazaars of local products, and a whole series of musical and many other kinds of events.
