Banchetto is Italian for feast. This is an overnight street food feast. It was originally intended to boost the local tourism of Ortigas, Pasig back in 2006. This started out in Emerald Ave., Ortigas from 12:00MN to 11:00AM of Saturday. What started out in Ortigas bloomed to other parts of the capital. There are now Banchetto events in Robinsons Forum-Mandaluyong, Libis, and SM Cubao. The event which started out in Emerald Avenue was later moved to the Megatent.
