Love Expressed through Photos

Nothing says fun like a disco-inspired photo spot where lolos, lolas, and apos can strike their best poses. With 80s retro vibes and a hint of modern flair, this is the perfect chance to glam up, groove out, and create memories that last a lifetime. Don’t forget to strike your grooviest pose and tag SM!

A Good Day to Bond and Support Local

Stroll through a colorful cluster of stalls showcasing homemade goodies and treats crafted by grannies and their apos. It’s a celebration of love made edible, from traditional family recipes to modern twists on local favorites. Bring your appetite and support MSMEs run by families!

Sweet Soiree

Occasionally, grandparents deserve to indulge in some sweet cravings. Head over to Vizco’s Cake Shop and treat them to premium strawberry shortcakes and more at SM City Grand Central. You may also grab Adda’s ultimate confectionaries at SM City Valenzuela. If they are into baked goodies, Mat’s Donut at SM Center Sangandaan is the sweetest way to end the day.

Brew Connections

Memories are best created over a good cup of coffee. Bring grandma and grandpa to the best brew destinations there are in Camanava, such as SM City Grand Central’s WouldULike specialty coffee. Pickup Coffee, on the other hand, is conveniently available at SM Center Sangandaan, while ZUS Coffee at SM City Valenzuela is the perfect hangout spot for some cozy vibes and great conversations with lolo and lola.

Make the most of Grandparents’ Day celebration at SM City Grand Central, SM Center Sangandaan, and SM City Valenzuela. For other gift ideas, activities, and events dedicated to grandma and grandpa, follow SM Camanava malls’ official social media pages.
