Independence Day Celebrated at Dolmen Mall with enthusiasm
Dolmen Mall, Pakistan’s first
international standard mall, is famous for being at the forefront of every
major national celebration. With every event, they have continued to raise the bar
when it comes to family entertainment and shopping in Karachi.
As our Independence Day approaches, we
see the city changing itself to represent the colours of Pakistan, and Dolmen
did not stay behind in giving its visitors a flavour of patriotism. This year,
their theme, ‘Dolmen loves Pakistan’, was weaved around the concept of
#HamariPehchan aimed at giving people a chance to celebrate Pakistan’s identity.
Spanning across all three malls, namely Dolmen Mall Clifton, Dolman Mall Tariq
Road and Dolmen Mall Hyderi, the event kicked off on 12th of August
2016.
“Living in a time where there is so
much uncertainty and negativity surrounding our identity as a nation, we wanted
to celebrate the achievements and entertainment aspects of Pakistan which we
are known for. These things are relatable to the older as well as the younger
generation of this country and they need to be celebrated. This is what makes
us proud as Pakistanis,” said Anum Nadeem, Marketing Head of the Dolmen Group
at the event.
A weekend worth of activities were executed
in all its patriotic glamour and glory.For this, the mall was draped in shades
of greens and whites.The walkways saw magnificent replicas of the country’s
monuments. From live murals of national heroes to specially dressed guards standing
and saluting the customers, the entire mall gave off 14th August
vibes. The main atrium was designed to take the mall-goers on a photographic
journey through Pakistan and its rich culture. Adding to the desi feel, a dhaabawas set up by Chai Wala offering fresh parathas and chai for all
those craving for a cup of tea, Pakistan’s undisputed favourite drink. Folk
music and a special Azadi Bazaar selling flags, badges, and other patriotic
merchandise set the right mood to the three-day event.
To mark the eve of Independence Day, a
grandiose performance by Sounds of Kolachi dazzled the audience. The soulful
music melted into the beautiful notes of our National Anthem at precisely 12 AM,
amidst a shower of confetti while the guards raised the flag and saluted. The
moment was breathtakingly beautiful.
On the same night, visitors at Dolmen
Mall Tariq Road were enthralled to find Noori performing live and did not shy
away from fully enjoying patriotic beats.
