The Negros Trade Fair is back and online!

After canceling the 2020 edition due to the pandemic, the Negros Trade Fair is back and online!

The country's longest running provincial trade fair happening in Metro Manila has set up an e-commerce website where people from all over the world can buy the best of Negros.

Happening from May 29 to June 30, the online Negros Trade Fair features more than 30 exhibitors across food, fashion, furniture, crafts, and organics.

There's Felicia's Pastry Shop and its glorious goodies, top of which is the ensaymada; the super delicious Ereneta Manaloto Chorizo, Inasalan sa Dalan's wonderful grilled things, just to name a few of the delicious delicacies to be had.

And then there are organics like Fresh Start Organics offering delicious organic food, Alter Trade's muscovado products, Marayo's natural soaps and shampoo bars, Mamabel's plant-based oils for better living.

As our humble bilao becomes something of a wall art, everybody might want to pay better attention to the crafts and furniture makers of Negros.  Tumandok Crafts, Milvidas, and Hacienda Crafts to name a few, have not only fashionable but actually useful home and kitchenware with which you'd like to upgrade your house.

Meanwhile, fashion might not be top of mind as we continue to stay at home, but garments manufacturers like Creative Definitions and Kiculo have homeware on offer too. Think tea towels, stylish throw accents, and even presko clothes you can wear for Zoom meetings.

The great news is that the Negros Trade Fair ships nationwide with a lead time of 5-7 days for items that will come straight from Bacolod. The better news is that non-food items can be shipped internationally, so we totally got our eyes on these fabulous native homeware.
