Ayala Malls Greenbelt, in collaboration with Sociedad Española de Beneficencia (SEB) and esteemed partners, announces the return of Paella Gigante on March 16, 2024.
As the clock strikes 4 p.m. at Greenbelt 3 Park, a night of culinary delights and cultural spectacle will unfold. Live cooking demonstrations, Spanish performances, a photo booth, exquisite wines, and diverse vendors will be there for a feast of the senses.
SEB, established in 1948, is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of elderly Spanish and Filipino individuals. In 2012, Paella Gigante emerged as a joint initiative by SEB, Ayala Malls Greenbelt, and LTB Philippines Chef Association. The project serves as a fundraising endeavor to provide essential support, including shelter, medical assistance, counseling, hospitalization, and interment aid.
Due to the pandemic, this annual event was paused from 2020 through 2023. In 2024, Paella Gigante returns as more than a culinary spectacle—a celebration of culture, compassion, and community.
Guests are invited to embark on a cultural journey with a paso doble and sevillanas dance showcase, a Spanish drum circle encouraging free-spirited dancing, and the passion and energy of traditional Flamenco dance performances by skilled Flamenco dancers. Gain insights into crafting the perfect paella with a fascinating demonstration by renowned chefs.
SEB's commitment extends to supporting various beneficiaries, including elderly individuals, religious communities, and foundations such as Kalipay Negrense, Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly, Makabata School Foundation, and Siervas de Jesus de la Caridad.
Tickets for Paella Gigante are now available at the Greenbelt Cinema 3 Ticket Booth. They cost P500. All proceeds from ticket sales will support Sociedad Española de Beneficencia's programs.
