First off, THANK YOU to everyone who applied! We’re incredibly grateful for the response and so excited to see how many amazing Central Florida businesses want to be part of our inaugural festival. 🇵🇭

We’re so excited for the number of applications that have come in. Because Mabuhay Festival is intentionally designed as a curated vendor experience with a limited number of spaces, we want to give each application the time and consideration it deserves. 💛

That means we’re giving ourselves a little extra time to review applications before making our selections.

📩 If you’ve already applied and haven’t heard from us yet, don’t worry! Acceptance letters have NOT been sent out yet and will begin going out next week.

And some good news! We’re extending Early Bird pricing through September 4, giving accepted vendors additional time to secure their space at the Early Bird rate.

Thank you again for the incredible response. We can’t wait to start introducing you to the businesses joining us at Mabuhay Festival! 🇵🇭✨

PS. Still thinking about applying? Vendor applications are still open, but not for long! Once our vendor spots are filled, applications will officially close. Apply at mabuhayfestival.com/vendors or visit the link in bio .

Mabuhay Festival is bringing together an exciting, curated marketplace of Filipino, local, handmade, K-pop, food, lifestyle, and community-focused businesses.

We’re expecting approximately 1,500–2,500+ attendees, and vendor space is intentionally limited so we can create a strong shopping experience.

Whether you sell physical products, packaged treats, or offer an interactive service or experience, there may be a space for you at Mabuhay. 🌺

The Venue at Lake Lily allows us to offer indoor vendor space, with outdoor space for food trucks.

At Mabuhay Festival, we want the best for our guests. When we open vendor applications later this month (after our Community Favorites winners are announced*), we'll be looking for some of Central Florida's most talented small businesses.

When it comes to the products featured at our festival, we love seeing originality, craftsmanship, and the creativity that only a human can bring.

We know AI has become part of many creative workflows, and we're not opposed to using technology as a tool. But the final product should reflect human creativity and originality.

Whether you create your own artwork, design your own products, or collaborate with independent artists, we want to celebrate the people who are creating something truly their own.

Our goal has always been to design a well curated marketplace where guests can discover amazing products, meet the people who made them, and take home something they can't wait to share with friends.

We can't wait to see what Central Florida's creative community has to offer!

* Join the vendor waitlist - Applications will open mid-August. ✨

🛍️ Who’s your favorite Filipino vendor in Central Florida? 🇵🇭✨

We know our community is full of incredible small businesses, and we want your help discovering who you'd love to see at the 2027 Mabuhay Festival!

💬 Tag your favorite Filipino vendor in the comments (or comment their name if they aren't on Instagram) and tell us why you love them. (Food trucks 🚚 have their own post, so make sure to nominate them on that one !)

🏆 One nominated vendor will be named our Community Choice Vendor and will receive a complimentary vendor booth at the 2027 Mabuhay Festival!

✨ Every nomination helps us discover businesses our community is excited to support. While community nominations play a big role in our decision, the Mabuhay Festival team will make the final selection based on overall fit for the festival. Additional nominated vendors may also receive invitations to participate.

📅 Nominations close August 10, 2026.

Please note that vendor space is very limited, so not every nominated business will receive an invitation.
