To celebrate a decade of defining the Filipino “cool girl” and “cool guy” aesthetic, Sunnies Studios transformed the heart of the concrete jungle—Ayala Triangle Gardens—into a sprawling, sun-drenched sanctuary. The Sunnies Picnic wasn’t just an anniversary party; it was a masterclass in the “soft life.” Designed as an all-day summer hangout, the event invited the community to take a collective pause, kick off their shoes, and literally “touch grass.”
From 2 PM to 9 PM on March 15, the park became a vibrant hub of music, play, and relaxation. It was a curated experience where families, friends, and even furry companions were invited to celebrate the playful spirit of the season.
The Vibe Check: Community & Connection
The real magic of the day wasn’t just in the curated corners, but in the people (and pets!) who filled them. We caught up with attendees who traded their screen time for some much-needed sunshine.
For many, the open-door policy for pets was the highlight. One guest, who brought along their two adorable bunnies, shared:
“It’s such a perfect, pet-friendly opportunity! We brought our two bunnies—one 7 years old and one 2 years old—to enjoy the vibes with us. Between the games, the food, and the lovely atmosphere, it’s been amazing to see them enjoy the day too.”
Others saw the picnic as the ultimate digital detox. Another attendee noted that the event was the perfect excuse to escape the city grind:
“You don’t always get time to just chill in nature when you live in the city. It’s a great opportunity to disconnect from social media, meet new friends, and just spend quality time outdoors.”
Sunnies Essentials: More Than Just Shades
While the vibes were the main attraction, the picnic served as a multi-sensory touchpoint for the brand’s lifestyle. The grassy expanse featured various pop-ups and collaborations that showcased the brand’s evolution over the last ten years:
- Exclusive Drops: Fans got a first look at the Sunnies x Islander collaboration and the highly coveted picnic sets seen on their website.
- The Full Lineup: From Sunnies Flask tumblers to Sunnies Face favorites, guests enjoyed one-day-only discounts of up to 20% off.
- Treats & Beats: Curated DJ sets provided the lo-fi backdrop while partner vendors kept the picnic snacks flowing all day.

As the sun dipped below the Makati skyline, one thing was clear: Sunnies Studios knows how to throw a party that feels like a hug. By blending nostalgia with a modern need for connection, the Sunnies Picnic proved that even after ten years, the brand still has its finger on the pulse of what we crave most: community, creativity, and a really good spot in the shade.
