Paw Fest 2026 Returns for Its Biggest Pet Weekend Yet

Paw Fest returns to Robinsons Magnolia on August 22 and 23 for its fifth year, transforming the Upper Ground Floor Atrium into Pawchella Festival—a two-day shopping and community event for people who take their pets seriously.

At the center of it all are 36 participating brands, making Paw Fest a weekend shopping haven for premium pet products worth discovering.

Independent local businesses will share the floor with established pet-care and lifestyle names. Most participating sponsors will offer free product sampling, while others will bring new product launches, special releases, and exclusive event discounts to Paw Fest.

And when you need a break from shopping, there is plenty happening around the festival.

On Sunday, August 23, The Furr Project Animal Hospital will conduct a free deworming drive for 150 pets. Dr. Reign Zander Castro, Medical Director of The Furr Project, will also lead a session on the fundamentals of responsible pet care.

Dr. Saza Curaming, Pet Nutrition Adviser of ADM Philippines, will also share practical insights on gut health and understanding pet food labels.

The Pet Blessing returns as one of Paw Fest’s traditions and remains free and open to walk-ins.

The weekend program is also built around participation and community, with audience games, live competitions, brand activities, complimentary Puppuccinos while supplies last, and a free photobooth for all to enjoy. Come early, too: the first 50 qualified guests each day can receive an Early Bird Loot Bag.

That mix of shopping and shared experiences is a big part of why Paw Fest has lasted five years. It gives pet owners a reason to stay beyond the marketplace and spend the day with a community that cares just as much about their animals.

Paw Fest Got Talent returns with live performances featuring pets and their humans, while Pawscars 2026 brings pet-centered storytelling to the screen through its short film competition.

And despite how much the event has grown, one thing has remained constant: Paw Fest remains free to attend, as it has been from the start. Walk-ins are welcome, so visitors can simply show up with their pets and explore.

Paw Fest is spearheaded by Kott’s Pet Galleria, with Robinsons Magnolia serving as its home venue partner.

This year’s partners and sponsors include Ganador, Equilibrio, Minino, Pet Depot, Stanley 1913 Philippines, Nestlé Purina, Moochie, Dentalight, Jerky Time, The Furr Project Animal Hospital, Inaba Ciao, and Pet Lovers Centre.

Five years in, Paw Fest has become the kind of weekend where you might come looking for one thing and leave with a new favorite brand—and probably more shopping bags than planned.

If you believe your pets deserve the good stuff, August 22 and 23 are worth saving.

Now Open: Robinsons Magnolia welcomes Breakfast at Antonio’s

Chef Tonyboy Escalante, the mastermind behind the illustrious Antonio’s Group of Restaurants, has always held a torch for breakfast. “I’ve always considered breakfast as the most important meal of the day,” he calls it. For nearly two decades, dedicated food enthusiasts have journeyed to Tagaytay, drawn by the cozy, casual allure of Breakfast at Antonio’s.

While calls for a city-based outlet were loud and clear, Chef Tonyboy had yet to find the perfect spot. “Sure, there have been urgings and discussions to have another outlet closer to the city, but somehow, I couldn’t really pin down where,” shares Chef Tonyboy. That is, until Robinsons Magnolia – one of Metro Manila’s premier shopping destinations – presented him with an offer he simply couldn’t resist.

This May, Chef Tonyboy and his team are happily answering the call to bring the experience to Manila, as the launch of Breakfast at Antonio’s in Robinsons Magnolia is really happening. “We are eternally grateful to Robinsons Mall’s management for giving us this once in a lifetime partnership that allows us to bring the ‘Antonio’s Experience’ to Metro Manila.”

The new restaurant, nestled within the serene Central Garden of Robinsons Magnolia, will be housed in a standalone bungalow-type structure with Filipino-Spanish design elements that encapsulates the essence of Antonio’s brand. Along with the acclaimed service that the restaurants, including the flagship Antonio’s, Breakfast at Antonio’s, and Balay Dako, are known for, guests can expect the same elevated sensory experience at the Tagaytay location.

The doors of Breakfast at Antonio’s at Robinsons Magnolia will swing open seven days a week from as early as 7 a.m., offering both indoor and al fresco seating. While the classic favorites from the Tagaytay menu will be available, the culinary team is also stirring up some comforting new additions. The menu will feature Arroz Caldo with an array of condiments, and servings of nourishing Taho from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Plus, global breakfast dishes like Eggs Royale, Turkish Eggs, Shakshuka, Chorizo Scrambled Eggs, soft Boiled Eggs with brioche fingers and Egg Cocotte,and more will make their appearance.

A journey to Breakfast at Antonio’s wouldn’t be complete without a little takeaway. Pedro the Grocer, a venture started by Chef Tonyboy and his eldest son, Basti Escalante, will offer a corner of deli meats, sourdough breads, croissants, baguettes, artisan pastries and more baked goods, fruit jams, and other delightful treats, encapsulating the Tagaytay experience in the heart of Manila.

A warm welcome awaits you at Breakfast at Antonio’s in Robinsons Magnolia. Hop on this gastronomic voyage, where the essence of Tagaytay meets the heart of Manila.

New Attraction at Robinsons Magnolia has Visitors Spinning Around

There always seems to be something new to see, taste or experience at Robinsons Malls. Whether you’re there to shop, dine or meet up with friends, the popular mall chain has it all. One of its newest attractions consists of six sculptural pieces at the base of the Christmas tree outdoors. If they remind you of oversized tops like the ones some of us used to play with as children, you wouldn’t be too far off the mark.

They’re spinning chairs and they’ve quickly become a favorite of mall-goers—both young and old— who frequent this well-loved Quezon City mall. Made using rotational molding with polyethylene, the chairs are hollow on the inside and allow users to spin around using only their body weight. All around the surface of the chairs are textured bands or lines that help prevent users from slipping off.

It might take a bit of getting used to but once you hit your stride, the thrill is one of a kind. It’s like your very own mini carnival ride where you’re the only passenger.

The original Spun Chair was designed by Thomas Heatherwick over a decade ago. It was initially an exploration on whether or not the process of metal spinning could create something to sit on. Heatherwick produced several metal versions tapping the process used to make timpani drums. Metal sheets were pressed against a rotating cast iron form using a paddle, welded and polished. The ones at Robinsons Magnolia are made of polyethylene and are thus much lighter. When allowed to stand on its narrow base, the Spun looks almost sculptural in form. The real fun begins, however, when it is leaned on its side and you get to lounge, rock and spin a full 360 degrees. It’s an experience not to be missed even if you think you might look a bit odd, spinning around, laughing and looking at the sky and the mall’s fairy-lit Christmas tree.

During a recent visit to Robinsons Magnolia, the six chairs—two each in gray, purple and red—were all being used, with several people waiting patiently for their turn. That’s another nice thing about this friendly neighborhood mall—the people seem nicer, more patient and agreeable.

The mall’s outdoor area is a favorite spot as it provides a literal breath of fresh air. There are animal-shaped stools and a mini playground for the kids but it also attracts dog owners who walk their leashed pets around the astroturf.

Feeling a bit peckish? Check out Public Eatery at the mall’s new expansion. It’s an updated food court that offers a selection of cuisines like Pinoy inihaw, Thai favorites, and Singaporean-Chinese fare like seafood laksa and claypot rice.

Robinsons Malls is determined to provide a novel and exhilarating experience for its shoppers, young and old. Aside from Robinsons Magnolia, the Spun chairs can be experienced at Robinsons Antipolo and Robinsons Galleria Ortigas and soon at Robinsons MetroEast, Robinsons Galleria South, and Robinsons Naga.
