From May 30 to June 1, 2025, the Megatrade Hall at SM Megamall transforms into a dynamic showcase of Filipino heritage, innovation, and flavor with the launch of the highly anticipated 2025 Food Festival, a collaborative celebration between the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and SM Supermalls in support of the country’s thriving Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

DTI — through the Bureau of Market Development, Promotions (BMDP), and One Town, One Product (OTOP), the DTI Competitiveness and Innovation Group (CIG), and the DTI Regional Operations Group, with support from the Tatak Pinoy Strategy Program — will bring together over 200 MSMEs from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in a three-day fiesta that blends tradition, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) launches the 2025 Food Festival at the SM Megamall Megatrade Halls 1-3 from May 30 to June 1, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., showcasing Filipino food products.
