Urban party at the persimmon plus

CEBU, Philippines -  Unprecedented.  Unequalled.  Unparalleled.  Truly exhilarating.  Genuinely exciting.

The Persimmon Plus brings the ultimate in partying in Metro Cebu this January with a series of huge events sure to tweak one into submission.  Give in to the ultimate temptation then and come to The Persimmon Plus’s The Urban Party!

The Urban Party, a harmonious collaboration with Cebu’s renowned artists, smoothly starts up with the opening of “Tahas”, an art exhibit by Wawart Contemporary Art Group and the launch of the e-book ‘Bathalad’ from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, January 11 at the Ground Floor of Building 4.

The next day, the party goes into high gear with the convergence of the 11 contenders of the Dong Juan Red Hot Double Dare Challenge at 6:00 p.m.  These grand munchers are the top of the bun, each being the best in the formidable line-up of burning-hot burger bingers at their Dong Juan branch of choice.

The 11 contestants of the Dong Juan Red Hot Double Dare Challenge are meeting up for the first time to get a chance to win the P20,000 pot that will be handed over to the best of the best.  Every contestant has been qualified to have the uncanny ability to put that deliciously spicy double-patty sandwich down in under 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

And the action doesn’t stop at Dong Juan.  Cebu Flea Market opens the Food Market and Bazaar at The Persimmon Plus on January 14.  You can load up on great food and fabulous finds at the bazaar until the 20th of the month.

The beat only gets more feverish in the run-up to the festival of festivals – the Sinulog, Cebu’s commemoration of the feast of Sr. Sto. Niño.

Come to The Persimmon Plus on January 18 and dance all night with Bomba Squad and Brazilian dancers to live drumbeating.  On the 19th, hang out with your friends and Infrared, the coolest showband in the Metro.

Round out the partying and the Sinulog celebration on January 20, to a street party with the reggae band The Shrubs.  (FREEMAN)
