A flurry of festivity in our communities worldwide
Celebrating the holiday season 1/2
At Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, we’re constantly seeking to reinvent the retail experience, bringing our communities together and contributing to the social, environmental and economic wellbeing of our guests and our neighbourhoods. These goals have grown more meaningful over the past couple of years, with more people seeking experiences that bring them closer to their friends and families.
The end-of-year holidays present a wonderful opportunity to spread cheer and goodwill in our centres and bring friends, families and communities together. Beyond artistic, thoughtfully designed decorations, our teams have put great consideration into their holiday programmes, curating events and local talents to bring forward a holiday showcase with something to offer every guest who walks through their doors!
So what has URW had up its sleeve for our communities around the world? Here’s a small sample of the ongoing festivities!
