The debut party of this movement has been baptized Match Party and is organized by its director Priscilla Anchundiawith the support of the marketing company Influencers Ecuador. The celebration will take place in Home Town Resto Bar in Piazza Ceibos (Avenida del Bombero), starting at 10:00 p.m. The celebration will feature the animation of Paulette Gregor and the presentation of Carlos Lira with his musical project Khura.

What to see, what to do in Guayaquil this Valentine’s Day 2023

“I would have loved that in my single days there would have been a theme party of this type to be able to meet other singles, because sometimes when you are single you cannot find people like that and it is difficult,” explains Anchundia, who at the time she is already married, as one of the motivations that materialized this meeting.

“It is a party for singles to get to know each other and to celebrate that decision that each person makes not to be in a relationship, because they are growing professionally or because they have not yet met the ideal person. We also invite those people who thought at some point they had met the ideal person, but it did not turn out as they expected and for that reason they are alone. We make this party get to know each other”.

The organizer also took the inspiration for this celebration on the singles day that was born in China 30 years ago and is remembered every November 11 (11/11). She takes this date precisely because it corresponds to four “ones”, which represent the four single students who devised the holiday.

To this day, the idea has spread to different countries and in China it is already part of the dominant culture. This kind of unofficial holiday serves as a time when people can meet and socialize at parties, and it has also become one of the most popular shopping days in the Asian country.

Anchundia recalls that for admission attendees will be asked to verify their identity card. “This party is also for the divorced and separated… Go ready to enjoy yourself, this is a healthy party for everyone.” (AND)
