A new weekend market in Cavite is bringing together local food producers, retailers and creative entrepreneurs in a shared space that highlights the province’s culture and community ties.
Located within Ayala Land’s Vermosa estate, the Cavite Collective Market serves as an open-air marketplace featuring a curated mix of food, retail and creative merchants. Nearly all participating vendors are based in Cavite, with many native to the province.
The market showcases a range of locally sourced products and community-driven businesses, from fresh produce and seafood to specialty delicacies and contemporary comfort food offerings. The concept reflects how local enterprises continue to develop while maintaining connections to traditional ingredients and practices.
A key feature of the market is its focus on Cavite’s culinary heritage. Familiar local dishes and products are presented in both traditional and contemporary forms, reflecting the province’s diverse food culture and influences.
Among the offerings are street food-inspired dishes from Imus, specialties made with Imus longganisa and regional favorites such as bibingkoy, Cavite tamales, bacalao, Amadeo coffee, puto bumbong and halo-halo. Products from Silang, including buko pie and coconut-based delicacies, are also available.
Beyond food, the market includes lifestyle and creative merchants, creating a space where small businesses can engage directly with the public. The mix of food, retail and creative concepts contributes to a marketplace that combines commerce with community interaction.
Open every Friday to Sunday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., the Cavite Collective Market is designed as a gathering place for residents and visitors. The venue is open to all ages and includes pet-friendly and accessible areas intended to encourage outdoor recreation and community engagement.
Parking areas within Vermosa are also available for visitors arriving by private vehicle.
The market is part of Vermosa’s broader mixed-use development, which aims to provide spaces where residents and visitors can participate in activities related to lifestyle, work, wellness and recreation within a community setting.
