The Negros Trade Fair is about to happen. Here are 5 exhibitors not to miss

After two years of pause in physical operations, the Negros Trade Fair (NFT) is set to return to Manila on September 20 to 25 at Glorietta 4 Activity Center.

Much like before, the fair will showcase the province of Negros' products and local craftsmanship. Unlike before, however, the trade fair this year will be guided by the theme, "Hidlaw," a Hiligaynon term for longing, yearning, or missing something or someone. It speaks not only to Negrenses but also to any Filipinos who are "longing to reconnect."

"The exhibitors are excited to bring their creations, designs, and products back and launch new items - a testament to the resilience of the Negrense spirit. This is also why we decided that this year's theme would be 'hidlaw,'" said NTF chairman Michael Claparols in a statement.

NTF, one of the country's longest-running provincial trade fairs, is known for featuring products and services of Negros and its people, which highlights their culture, lifestyle, land history, and traditions. NTF is also an excellent opportunity for small and medium-scale business owners to spotlight their proudly local products created with skilled craftsmanship.

From natural and organic food to fashion accessories and furniture, NTF has over 60 sellers who will participate during the fair.
