From opening the Manila – Batangas Bypass road section 3, to the groundbreaking of The Bean at Barako Triangle to new exciting events and games to participate in the 3rd year of Barako Fest, Batangueños and visitors from around the world are going to be packed with activities as they attend #BarakoFest2025.

“The festival is for all of us. A celebration of our roots, our values, and our future. Let us enjoy the festivity, honor our heritage, and continue building the legacy worth remembering,” Mentorque CEO Bryan Dy as he opens the Barako Fest media conference.

“Barako Fest, isang napaka-gandang selebrasyon ito ng anything and everything Batangueño. Isang bagay na ating pinagmamalaki na nagsimula lang three years ago. At nakikita natin ang suportang binibigay hindi lamang ng Lipa kundi bawat Batangueño, pati buong Pilipinas nagdadagsaan dito sa Barako Fest. Eto na ang simula na kapag pinag-usapan natin ang lalawigan ng Batangas, hindi lang pag-uusapan ang kape, ang balisong, kapag sinabi ang Batangas, may magsasabi na, ‘diyan ‘yung Barako Fest, diba? Gusto kong mapuntahan ‘yan,’” shares Luis “Lucky” Manzano as he welcomes the media and attendees of the Barako Fest media conference.

From 200,000 attendees last year, Barako Fest 2025’s target 300,000 is already within reach as tickets for the event has been sold out already.
