Tambayan Sa Kanto Street Food Fest 2026 in Chantilly

Magasawang Gala is listing Tambayan Sa Kanto, a Filipino street-food fest, for Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 12:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Mahiwaga Bakery Parking Grounds, 4520 Daly Drive, Chantilly. Entry is free. The Eventbrite end time is 7:00 p.m. The promo flyer still prints 12:00 to 6:00 p.m., so treat six as the soft close on art and seven as the listing clock until organizers reprint.

Tambayan means a hangout spot. Kanto is the corner. This is a parking-lot gathering built around Filipino-owned vendors, not a temple mela and not an indoor Diwali expo. The listing promises authentic street food, coffee and specialty drinks, live music and karaoke, classic Filipino street games, and a family-friendly community afternoon for Fil-Am History Month.

Mahiwaga Bakery anchors the Daly Drive pin in Chantilly's Centreville-adjacent strip, west of Fairfax and south of Dulles Town Center. Expect a lawn-and-lot shape: short walk from the car, food first, games if the kids drag you. It is not Rhode Island Avenue and it is not National Harbor's plaza. Bring cash and a card; outdoor vendor lots in NoVA rarely run on one payment rule, and the listing does not publish a cashless mandate.

Umpukan is the earlier in-city Fil-Am History Month gathering on October 4 at metrobar on Rhode Island Avenue NE. That Sunday is art, tinikling, and a donation RSVP. Tambayan is the later NoVA food Saturday if your map is Chantilly, not Brookland.

The same October 24 is Heritage India at Dulles Town Center and National Harbor's Asian Night Market. Pick the Filipino lot if that is the craving. You will not do Sterling's expo hall, the Harbor plaza, and Daly Drive at full depth in one day.

UHJT's Diwali Mela already runs October 10 at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt. That association mela is a Maryland school-grounds Diwali, not a Pleasant Valley temple fair and not this Chantilly food fest. Same metro calendar. Different product.

Who this is for: Chantilly, Centreville, and Fairfax Filipino families who want a free outdoor food afternoon during Fil-Am History Month. Skip it if you needed an indoor bazaar or a temple aarti night. Sterling and Greenbelt already cover those shapes.

Daly Drive sits in the Centreville–Chantilly commercial grid west of Fair Oaks. Plan for Route 50 or I-66 traffic on a Saturday, then a short hop into the bakery lot. The listing does not publish a rain plan. Check Magasawang Gala or Eventbrite the morning of if the forecast turns.

Our take: noon for food before the lines thicken. Leave by 5:00 if the Harbor is still on your list. Confirm the six-versus-seven close on Eventbrite the morning you drive, not from an old screenshot.

When: October 24, 2026 (noon–7 p.m.; flyer still prints 6 p.m.)
Where: Mahiwaga Bakery Parking Grounds, 4520 Daly Dr, Chantilly, VA 20151
