Weekend Markets in Manila: Where to Shop and Eat on Saturday and Sunday

Saturday: Makati's original market

Salcedo Saturday Market sets up every Saturday under the trees of Jaime C. Velasquez Park, and it is still the market most people in Makati mean when they say "the market". Expect fresh produce, seafood and meat, regional Filipino cooking, international food stalls, pastries, flowers and crafts. On Saturdays from 9am to 2pm, Berdeng Kalabaw also collects clean recyclables, old clothes and e-waste (old phones, cables and small electronics) inside the park, so you can drop off a bag while you shop.

Saturdays, 7am to 2pm · Jaime C. Velasquez Park, Salcedo Village, Makati · Tip: arrive before 9am for the full range and some shade.

Good to know: the market occasionally moves for street events. On 29 August 2026 it set up along Paseo de Roxas for a car-free street day before returning to the park the next Saturday. If you are going on a holiday weekend, check its Facebook page on Friday. Our event page carries the latest.

Sunday: Legazpi Village and Shaw Boulevard

Legazpi Sunday Market is Salcedo's Sunday counterpart, across Ayala Avenue in Legazpi Village. It leans more international, with cooked food from many countries next to fresh produce, desserts, crafts and home goods. It also holds occasional cultural mornings, which it announces on its own Facebook and Instagram pages.

Sundays, from about 7am to 2pm · Corinthian car park beside Corinthian Plaza, Legazpi Village, Makati · Tip: seating is limited, so go early if you want to sit down to eat.

Good Food Sundays at Mandala Park is the one to choose if you care where your food comes from. It is run by Good Food Community, a group that works with Filipino farmers, and the stalls cook for every diet: vegan, pescatarian and meat eaters alike. Children and pets are welcome.

Sundays, 10am to 5pm · Mandala Park, Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong · Tip: the organisers ask you to bring your own reusable containers and cutlery.

Skip if you want an early start: Good Food Sundays opens at 10am, so it pairs well with a late breakfast rather than a dawn shop.

Quezon City: the big Sunday shop

Sidcor Sunday Market has run since 2000 and moved to the Eton Centris complex in 2010. It is built for a real weekly shop: fish and shellfish, meat, fruit and vegetables, plants and cooked food, plus stalls selling clothes, pet supplies and odds and ends.

Sundays, 5am to 2pm · Eton Centris Walk, EDSA corner Quezon Avenue, Quezon City, behind MRT Quezon Avenue station · Tip: go before 8am for the best seafood.

From Makati or BGC (Bonifacio Global City), Sidcor is roughly 30 to 45 minutes up EDSA at that hour on a Sunday. The MRT-3 (Metro Rail Transit Line 3) stops right behind it, which saves you the parking.

Evening markets: Friday to Sunday after 3pm

Greenfield Weekend Market is a night food market in the central park of Greenfield District, with food stalls and drinks under the park lights. It has run on weekends since 2014 and is the easiest market here to do with friends after work on a Friday.

Saturdays and Sundays, 4pm to midnight; from 11 September to 27 December 2026 it also opens on Fridays · Greenfield District Central Park, Mandaluyong, near MRT Shaw Boulevard station · Tip: outdoor events can be cancelled in heavy rain, so check its page before you go.

Mercato Centrale is the night-market brand that started at The Fort in BGC in 2010 and now runs several sites that change through the year. Recent regular sites include Filinvest City Central Park in Alabang (Fridays to Sundays, 3pm to 10pm) and Plaza Verde in Taguig (Thursdays to Sundays, 3pm to 10pm).

Tip: locations change more often than the morning markets, so check Mercato Centrale's Facebook or Instagram before you set out. Filinvest City is at least 45 minutes from Makati.

Fairs that come back every year

Some of the best markets in Manila happen once a year rather than every weekend. Likhang HABI Market Fair, run by HABI: The Philippine Textile Council, brings handloom weavers and makers from across the country to one hall. The 2026 edition runs 9 to 11 October at SPACE at One Ayala, Makati, 10am to 9pm daily.

From November the calendar fills with holiday markets. We keep every confirmed date in our Christmas bazaars guide, and this month's openings are in What's On in Manila: October 2026.

Before you go

• Go early. The morning markets are at their best in the first two hours. By 11am the heat is high and the popular stalls are selling out.
• Bring cash in small notes. Some stalls take e-wallets such as GCash or Maya, but many do not, and signal can be weak in a crowd. Carry ₱20, ₱50 and ₱100 notes.
• Bring bags and containers. A tote for produce and a container or two for cooked food make the trip easier, and Good Food Sundays asks for them.
• Parking is tight. Street parking around Salcedo and Legazpi fills quickly on weekend mornings. If you live in Makati, walking or a short ride-hail is easier. For Sidcor, the MRT Quezon Avenue station is right behind the market.
• Dress for the heat. Most of these markets are outdoors under trees or tents. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
• Check the page the day before. Markets move for holidays, typhoons and street events. Each one posts changes on Facebook or Instagram.
