THIS IS MORE THAN A FOOD FESTIVAL.

It starts with adobo.

But Adobo Throwdown is about much more — Filipino food, music, dance, fashion, entrepreneurship, competition, family, and community.

Come hungry. Discover something new. Meet the people behind the food. Celebrate Filipino culture with us.

THE THROWDOWNS RETURN

Amateur Adobo Competition

Home cooks. Family recipes. Serious bragging rights.

Ube Dessert Competition

Creative. Colorful. Unmistakably Filipino.

Professional Adobo Competition

Professional chefs take on one of the Philippines' most iconic dishes — and show us what adobo can become.

Competition registration coming in 2027.

FOOD. CULTURE. COMMUNITY.

Adobo Throwdown 5.0 will bring together Filipino food vendors, local businesses, cultural performances, cooking demonstrations, community organizations, and special experiences throughout the day.

And we're building even more ways for you to participate before November 6.

Follow the journey to 5.0.

ROLE MODELS ON RUNWAY

Filipino fashion meets Filipino achievement.

Our runway isn't about traditional models. It's about community role models — people whose stories, accomplishments, and service deserve to be seen.

Their stories take center stage alongside Filipino fashion and culture.

BE PART OF 5.0

Adobo Throwdown isn't built by one person or one organization.

It's built by cooks, chefs, vendors, volunteers, performers, sponsors, community organizations — and the thousands of people who show up to celebrate with us.
