This September, All Day @ The Quad officially launched at Nepo Center, bringing together
runners, families, local businesses, farmers, and artists for a weekend designed to bring the community together from sunrise to sundown.
But the story of All Day @ The Quad began long before its launch.
Before flea markets became a weekend staple, Nepo Center had always been a space
where communities could come together.
In 2023, Farm ni Juan gave Aeta farmers a space to bring their produce closer to the
community. Two years later, Quad Sundown opened its doors to local merchants, creating
a space where people could shop, discover, and connect.
Through All Day @ The Quad, that story grew into something bigger.
The weekend began with Quad Sunrise, a community run that brought together Gen Z
runners, the Zumba community, and Nepo runners. As the sun rose, The Quad became a
shared space for movement and new connections, with runners, walkers, and members of
the community coming together to enjoy the morning.
As the day continued, the Home Goods Market welcomed shoppers with home goods,
fresh produce, and other finds from local businesses and farmers. More than a marketplace, it gave small businesses and local sellers a space to reach a wider community.
Then, as the day gave way to evening, Quad Sundown came alive once again. Local
artists took the stage, filling the space with music and giving homegrown talent a place to be seen and heard.
When we first envisioned All Day @ The Quad, the goal was simple: to create a weekend
that would bring people together. But as the weekend unfolded, it was the people who gave the event its meaning.
The runners who showed up before sunrise. The families who explored the market. The
local businesses who shared what they had to offer. The artists who filled the evening with
music.
We created the weekend, but the community made it memorable.
And this is only the beginning.
This Ber Months, Quad Sunrise will continue to share the road with runners, walkers, and
cyclists, while Quad Sundown continues to make space for local markets, homegrown
talent, and new experiences.
Because at The Quad, the weekend is not just something we create for the community.
It is something we create together.
