Objects kept for years in Panamanian homes will be given the chance to begin a new story through the Gran Bazaar del Desapego, an initiative designed to support a children’s garden at Parque Omar.
Promoted by the Office of the First Lady and Rolando Domingo, the project asks people to donate or consign items that still carry personal meaning but are no longer needed. The organizers describe the idea as a way to turn memories into solidarity and create better spaces for children.
The bazaar may include tableware, glassware, decorative pieces, books, artworks, accessories, textiles, kitchen items, small furniture and other objects selected under the event’s criteria. Each piece, the organizers say, can move from one household’s history into another while contributing to the children’s garden project.
A preview gala will take place on Oct. 26, 2026. The bazaar will open to the public on Oct. 27 and 28 at the Casa Club in Parque Omar, from noon to 8 p.m. People who have objects they no longer need but believe deserve to continue their story can participate through the available donation and consignment options.
