Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig will welcome products and cultural specialties from around the world as the 60th International Bazaar takes place on November 29, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center Aura. Organized by the International Bazaar Foundation, Inc. (IBF), in cooperation with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the diplomatic and consular corps, and the Spouses of the Heads of Mission, the annual event will bring together international representatives, local exhibitors, and shoppers for a day of shopping and charitable fundraising. This year's milestone edition is expected to feature 41 embassies and consulates and a total of 147 booths, offering visitors opportunities to discover products and specialty items from different countries in one location.
Discover Products From Around the World
The International Bazaar provides a platform for participating embassies and consulates to showcase products associated with their respective countries. Visitors can explore international specialties and unique finds that may not be readily available in the Philippine market. Participating diplomatic missions include representatives from countries such as the United States, Singapore, India, and Indonesia. Their booths will contribute to the variety of products and cultural offerings available throughout the event.
Philippine-based exhibitors will also participate, giving local businesses and organizations an opportunity to present Filipino products alongside international selections. This combination creates a shopping experience that connects global merchandise with locally made goods.
From specialty products to gift items, the bazaar offers visitors an opportunity to discover something different while supporting an event with a charitable purpose.
Celebrating Six Decades of the International Bazaar
The 2026 edition marks the International Bazaar's 60th anniversary, continuing a tradition that brings together the diplomatic community and the public through shopping and fundraising. Over the years, the event has provided an avenue for embassies, consulates, and participating organizations to share products from their countries while contributing to charitable initiatives in the Philippines. The anniversary edition reflects the bazaar's continuing role as a gathering where international communities and local visitors can connect through commerce, cultural exchange, and community support.
Shopping With a Purpose
Beyond its international shopping experience, the bazaar is organized to generate funds for charitable activities. The International Bazaar Foundation aims to support programs and services that contribute to the health and well-being of its beneficiaries. The event demonstrates how a public shopping activity can also help mobilize resources for community needs. Visitors can explore participating booths while contributing to a fundraising initiative intended to support charitable work. For shoppers, this adds another dimension to the experience: purchases made at the event become part of a larger effort to help support local beneficiaries.
