Missed the all-female Pasar Bellas weekend market at Slate at the Row in February? Fret not, for this versatile events space in KL will host this month's edition of the Sunny Side Up Market which is dedicated to International Women's Day. The two-day market features a quirky collection of memorabilia from over 30 female-led local businesses, from skincare and beauty brands to sustainable fashion and food.
