About the Filipino BBQ Throwdown

The Filipino BBQ Throwdown is a celebration of culture, community, and culinary excellence, rooted in the vibrant traditions of the Filipino-American community. What began as part of the Adobo Throwdown Cooking Competition and Food Expo in 2023 and 2024 has grown into a standalone event, marking a significant milestone in 2025. This evolution reflects the passion and pride of our community in showcasing the flavors and heritage of the Philippines.

This year, the Filipino BBQ Throwdown takes on new meaning as we bring together families and friends to celebrate two remarkable occasions: Father’s Day and Philippine Independence Day. It’s more than just a food festival—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the enduring bonds of family, the rich tapestry of Filipino culture, and the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our community.

Hosted by the Philippine American Chamber of Commerce - Greater San Antonio (PACC-GSA), the event highlights the best of Filipino BBQ, offering attendees an unforgettable experience filled with authentic cuisine, cultural pride, and a vibrant atmosphere. As a chamber dedicated to promoting entrepreneurship, fostering business growth, and strengthening U.S.-Philippine relations, we are thrilled to bring this unique event to life.

Join us as we honor tradition, celebrate community, and create lasting memories at the Filipino BBQ Throwdown—where every bite tells a story and every celebration brings us closer together.
