Everything You Need to Know About PURVEYR Fair 2026

(SPOT.ph) PURVEYR Fair first arrived in 2016 as a fundraising project for PURVEYR Magazine, and it has since established its own identity and community since then. It's been a decade of bringing together different creative communities in the country, and 2026 will be no different—in fact, it's going even bigger. Whether you're a first-timer looking to shake off newbie nerves or you're a seasoned attendee with a list of booths to visit, everything you need to know about the PURVEYR Fair is here so you can make the most of the weekend.

PURVEYR Fair 2026 will be held on September 12 to 13, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., at the World Trade Center and Outdoor Tent. It's the 12th edition of the fair, and it's still committed to bringing together different creative communities from fashion, art, design, music, food and more.

There will be 113 indoor merchants, 24 outdoor merchants, 23 food and beverage stalls, and 18 partners for this year's fair. Both days will see the same lineup, but trust us when we say a day isn't enough to explore every nook and cranny of the fair. If you're the type to leave no stone unturned, the 2-Ticket Bundle good for two days is on sale right now for P1,100 on the HelixPay website, down P100 from its regular price of P1,200. Each bundle comes with two tickets, which can be used once per day for a full weekend attendance, or you can opt to give one to a friend so you can both go on one day.

If you already have a list of brands and booths to visit, perhaps a day is enough. The regular Day Pass is available at P600 per ticket and is valid for only one day. Both types of tickets are available for purchase online, and grant access to both the indoor and outdoor Marketplace.

After filling up the World Trade Center Tent last year, PURVEYR Fair is going bigger in 2026 with two tents, bringing the total floor space to 5,200 sq.m. from last year's 3,000 sq.m. Over 10,000 visitors came across two days, and the same number of people is expected to visit, if not more. While it's roomier this year, it's still best to have a plan.

Some of the brands in the indoor Marketplace will include WOMA, Groundwork Apparel, Saan Saan, Proudrace, Randolf, HA.MÜ, Sports Paradise, Le Ngok, Cinemasun, The Indie Bookshop, RIOtaso, Good Luck Humans, Revibe Culture, Pottery Sessions, Courier, MOLD, Sonoma, Archivo 1984, A.kin, and MOTHERLAND PH, just to name a few.

Though most brands have an online presence, they've also found and established a community through the Marketplace. Every year, the fair serves as a platform for designers, artists, and creatives to launch new collections and products, along with fair-exclusive releases which are made available for the first time during PURVEYR weekend. Both brands and buyers have come to look forward to these drops over the years.

For the 2026 edition of the fair, an additional outdoor Marketplace will be introduced to extend the shopping experience beyond the main tent. With a wider area, more space is given to brands and groups, and guests have more ground to roam, browse, and discover.

The indoor Marketplace and Food Hall will each have their own DJ booth, with 10 DJs playing at each. Check out the full list of participating brands and labels below.

No need to stress about what and where to eat while you're at the Fair. This year's Food Hall will have a bigger space of its own within the outdoor tent. Around 40 to 50 tables will be available this year so guests have room to eat, sit down, and hang out in between going around the Fair. For the first time ever, the Food Hall will also have its own DJ booth for cool beats and background music while you fuel up and chow down.

There are 23 food and beverage merchants for the fair, serving up offerings ranging from coffee and matcha, to snacks and full meals. Check them out below.

Nine live acts will be featured on the PURVEYR Stage on Day 1, September 12: FABLES, YSANYGO, OZO, CHICOSCI, ANIMA TIERRA, Up Dharma Down feat. Bea Lorenzo, RUIIJIKUN, BABY FREEZE, and ALISSON SHORE. For September 13, the stage will shift from music to conversations, with four talks lined up throughout the day.

PURVEYR Fair is bringing in two guests from Tokyo in an effort to bridge the fashion markets and industries of Tokyo and Manila. Toru Inoue, Buyer of International Gallery BEAMS, and Reo Yoshioka, Japan Brand Director of Denim Tears and Buyer of CECUM, will join the talk “Exploring Fashion Markets: Tokyo vs Manila.” Yoshioka was previously a buyer for UNITED ARROWS & SONS.

The talk aims to bring perspectives from both cities into the same room, fostering an exchange of ideas and insights from their respective fashion market, and creating more opportunities for the local creative community to connect with industries outside of the Philippines.
