Why go
Getting the Christmas food shopping done in one trip
Presented by
Noel Bazaar
Date
25 Nov 2026
Neighbourhood
Good to know
Go on a weekday and go early, because the aisles are genuinely hard to move through on the final weekend. Bring cash, a cooler bag for anything chilled, and expect to queue at the exit. Parking at the World Trade Center fills by mid morning during bazaar season.
About this event
Twenty five years on, Noel Bazaar returns to the World Trade Center for six days of Christmas trading, and its food section has become the reason many people go. Small Filipino food businesses take a large share of the floor with hams, quezo de bola, preserves, baked goods, regional sweets and the ready made dishes that end up on Noche Buena tables. It is a shopping bazaar first, so plan it as a stock up run rather than a sit down meal. A second, shorter leg follows at Filinvest Tent in Alabang from 17 to 20 December.
