Scheduled to run until December 23, 2023, the FAB Fair 2023 provides a platform for businesses, including FAB-registered enterprises, to showcase and market their products to the public. This year’s fair, however, goes beyond that traditional role, with a variety of events lined up to ensure a memorable experience for FAB employees, Bataan residents, tourists, and guests.
