A mix of local and international food vendors continued serving the most palatable street food to assuage our taste buds. Participants took great interest in the Art n’ Craft stall, which sold beautiful handmade jewellery and ingenious tile art, designed by students. Aiming to help small businesses, lots of talented artisans shared their goods, made profits, and introduced themselves to the local market.
