The 39th Negros Trade Fair, aptly themed Himbon—a Hiligaynon word for "to gather"—is off to a fantastic start! The halls of SMX Aura were bustling with activity as the doors opened yesterday, September 23, welcoming a large crowd eager to explore the best of Negros.

The energy and excitement from the opening day were palpable, with people browsing and buying the diverse products that the region has to offer. The fair is a celebration of Negrense heritage and a platform for local entrepreneurs and artisans to showcase their unique food, fashion, crafts, and home goods.

If you missed the first day, don't worry—the fair is still in full swing today, Wednesday, and for the rest of the week! There's so much to discover, and the event runs until Sunday, September 28.

• Tuesday to Thursday: 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM
