June is shaping up to be an exciting month at SM Supermalls—not just for shoppers looking for unique finds, but also for Filipino entrepreneurs ready to take their businesses to the next level.

Across the country, SM Supermalls continues to open doors for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through a lineup of trade fairs, artisan markets, and entrepreneurship programs designed to connect local businesses with millions of mallgoers. Whether you’re searching for handcrafted products, locally made delicacies, wedding essentials, or even your next business opportunity, there’s something worth discovering this month.

The journey begins in the Summer Capital as the Artisan Village Market by Silk Events takes over SM Baguio from June 15 to 25. Shoppers can explore a carefully curated collection of handcrafted goods, fashion pieces, home décor, specialty food products, and unique creations from passionate local entrepreneurs and artisans at their most-loved SM mall.

“Events like these allow small brands like ours to be seen by customers from all over the country. SM provides the exposure and opportunities that help us grow beyond our local communities,” shared one of the participating entrepreneurs.

Meanwhile, wedding bells are ringing at SM Aura as the DTI Wedding Fair gathers Filipino entrepreneurs from June 24 to 28.
