Just as last year, Maginhawa's hole-in-the-wall restaurants and specialty food joints will be highlighted from the event. It aims to establish the Maginhawa food strip as a rising food tourism destination in Quezon City.

Concessionaires' booths will also be diverse. Aside from food stalls, Maginhawa will also offer unique and interesting fashion, music, arts and crafts products which will be available at very affordable prices. With 320 participating exhibitors - 200 for food and 120 for art, fashion, and music, the organizers of the event assure that everyone will be accommodated and will be able to dine and celebrate with their family and friends.

What sets this year's Quezon City Festival different from last year is the inclusion of shops and activities that will surely invigorate the Christmas atmosphere in the area. Maginhawa resident establishments will be part of a Christmas Decoration Contest where the best ornamented establishments can win exciting prizes. The competition will surely light up the entire stretch of Maginhawa to make the occasion more fun and festive.
