The 24th Negros Trade Fair

The Association of Negros Producers (ANP) will once again hold the annual Negros Trade Fair. Now on its 24th year, the Negros trade Fair is touted as the country’s longest running provincially organized trade fair in Manila. The 24th Negros Trade Fair will be held at The Rockwell Tent in Makati City on Sept. 11-16,2009.
This annual event is always looked forward to both by Negrenses and non-Negrenses. Negrenses who want to cure their homesickness visit the fair to savor authentic Ilonggo dishes, bring home pasalubong items and reunite with friends and relatives who will also be at the fair. The Negros Trade Fair also attracts numerous buyers every year since Negrenses are noted for creating innovative designs and world class quality products reflective of the Negrense culture.
