Ube Universe

Ube gets the full pop-up treatment at Ube Universe, a one-afternoon celebration built around the Filipino purple yam. The event goes beyond sweets, with ube treats and specialty drinks alongside Filipino-inspired flavors, local makers, creative workshops and hands-on activities. Beauty and nail stations, tarot readings, collectibles and an Ube Universe trading card game give the afternoon plenty to browse between bites. The timing is especially useful for MAMAMOO fans, since the event doubles as a pre-concert gathering with K-pop performances and a DJ set before the group’s show. Gift bags are included with tickets, too. For anyone who likes food events with a little shopping, crafting and fandom mixed in, this is a colorful way to spend a late-summer afternoon without making the concert itself your whole day.
