This August 14-20, 2025, the island will host the first-ever Siargao Food & Wine Festival, a week-long culinary event designed to spotlight local cuisine, culture, and community.
The festival brings together chefs, carinderia cooks, farmers, foragers, creatives, and passionate food lovers across the island to celebrate Siargao’s evolving food identity.
The Festival Theme: Building a Better Island, One Bite at a Time
