MaArte Fair Sets New Record with 200+ Exhibitors for Fall 2026

The MaArte Fair is set to break its own record, hosting over 200 exhibitors for its 17th annual event. This year's fair, taking place from August 13 to 16 at The Peninsula Manila in Makati, will feature a diverse range of products including fashion, perfumes, skincare, and accessories from various parts of the country Source.

Executive Director Tanya Pico noted the fair's continuous growth, stating that the number of exhibitors has steadily increased from 90 in 2022 to 173 in 2025, culminating in 220 this year. This expansion is partly driven by increasing interest from young artists and enthusiasts who view MaArte as a key platform for their designs. The fair is not solely about fundraising; it also supports deeper purposes such as providing grants for small museums, scholarships, and projects that build heritage, history, culture, and arts.

Attendees can expect to see brands like Baler, Aurora-based clothing brand Pam Pinay, perfumery A.Mara, Ligaw Travel Accessories, Mele+Marie, skincare line Dermtropics, One Weave from Tondo, FamPH, Lokal by Alixia Marie PH, and Locallae. This gathering offers a unique opportunity to explore new trends and support local craftsmanship gearing up for Fall 2026. Keep an eye on emerging trends from these local brands, which could influence the broader market for the upcoming season.
