Titled The Henderson Project, the venue this time round is situated in the Henderson Industrial area – definitely an off-the-beaten-path kind of experience, wouldn’t you say?

The Zouk Run
If you’ve not heard, Zouk will be moving from its Jiak Kim Street home of 25 years to Clarke Quay. A second home to many, this club served as a rite of passage for most of us when we come of age. Want to relieve the nostalgia of the past? Take a final lap with The Zouk Run, a short 3km route dotted with Zouk key experience which culminates in an epic After Party at Zouk and Velvet Underground itself. This might very well be your last chance to experience the magic of the old Zouk.
The Zouk Run is happening on Saturday, 5 November 2016 at Zouk Jiak Kim Street from 5pm. Tickets are priced at $48. For more details, check out the event page here.

Happening this weekend at the F1 Pit Building, Boutiques is well-known for its rigorous curation of independent designers and brands, most of them local.
