The inaugural Pop Up Flea market, hosted by Cid On Fleek Events, was a resounding success, according to organisers and attendees. The event provided a platform for entrepreneurs, vendors, creatives, food sellers, designers, artists, and exhibitors to showcase their products and services under one roof. This initiative aimed to create a space for businesses to connect, build relationships, and have fun.
The organisers expressed gratitude to all the businesses that trusted the new platform and to members of the public who came out to shop, eat, dance, and support local businesses. Special thanks were extended to BK Lodge and Conference Centre for partnering with Cid On Fleek Events to bring the vision to life. The event's success was attributed to the connections made between entrepreneurs, new friendships formed, and businesses supporting each other.

The aim was to create a space where entrepreneurs could meet customers, connect with other businesses, build relationships, and take a break from their daily work to have fun. The organisers were thrilled to see entrepreneurs connecting with each other, forming new friendships, and supporting one another.
Following the success of the first edition, the team plans to host a bigger and better event next time, with more entrepreneurs, creatives, and community members.
