In support for the 6-week citywide sale and events extravaganza – the Visit Davao Fun Sale (VDFS), SM Lanang Premier is spearheading the first ever Davao Pomelo Festival to draw more local and foreign tourists from April 10 to May 17.
Co-presented by the Davao Pummelo Stakeholder’s Association, Inc. (DPSAI), the said festival aims to promote support for the production and export of pomelo as one of the foremost fruits being grown and harvested in Davao City. As a food tourism effort, it also intends to create increased awareness and appreciation for the fruit people love for its sweet, juicy and tangy taste.
Leading pomelo producers – Nenita Farms, Davao Golden Pomelo, Inc., Hellen Cabalida, Sheba Marie Elefante and Rosemarie Ambay – are set to participate in the Davao Pomelo Festival, which will open on April 10, 5 pm at SM Lanang Premier Fountain Court grounds.
Tourists and even locals are invited to pop in and get a taste of Davao’s favorite fruit at the Pomelo Market, which runs from April 10 to May 17. Once hooked to the mouthwatering goodness of pomelo, they can join the fun at the Eat-All-You-Can fest happening all Saturdays and Sundays during the said period.
On April 18-19 and 25-26, the public is invited to witness Pomelo Dishes and Drinks Chef Demos at the festival. Featured chefs will show how the fruit can spice up and enhance the flavor of food and beverage with a dash of creativity and imagination.
The Davao Pomelo Festival is part of the Flavors of the Philippines campaign of the Department of Tourism for VDFS. It is supported by the Davao City Government, the Department of Science and Technology, the Department of Agriculture, Department of Trade and Industry and REDD-Ltd “Sharing Knowledge for Ethical and Tasty Food.”
