Check out our highlight reels below for a glimpse of the happenings during our Dinagyang pop-up event:

Hala Bira, Owlkemy Curios!

We took a big leap this 2025 and joined our first-ever Dinagyang weekend market! Held at the popular Molo Mansion—right across from Molo Plaza and Molo Church—we joined other small businesses and merchants in the weekend festivities.

A bit of background for those not familiar with the place: Molo Mansion, also known as the Yusay-Consing Ancestral House (originally the Lacson-Yusay Ancestral House), was built in 1936 and is well known for its neoclassical and art deco structure. It’s one of the many heritage houses in Iloilo that have been restored and maintained, serving as an aesthetic tourist attraction for lovers of history and architecture. Surrounding the old house are locally grown cafés and delicacy shops where people often drop by to have coffee and hang out. It’s also home to Healing Iloilo, a local yoga and mindfulness lifestyle business by yoga instructor and mental health advocate Kate Atienza Alba.

During the Dinagyang weekend, we braved the sweltering heat and listened to the drums as the city came alive with music and dancing. We also got to know other business owners who were boothing alongside us, like The Yarn Artisan and Pixie Hollow.
