Powered by PACC-GSA: daily Lumpia Food Crawl, March 10 kickoff, plus Bring Lumpia to Work Day on March 13.
SAN ANTONIO, TX, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — After three years of celebrating National Lumpia Day, San Antonio is expanding the tradition into something bigger: the first-ever National Lumpia Week, taking place Tuesday, March 10, through Monday, March 16, 2026. What started as a one-day celebration has grown into a week-long experience—because one day simply isn’t enough to honor one of the Philippines’ most beloved foods. Lumpia Week is powered by the Philippine American Chamber of Commerce – Greater San Antonio (PACC-GSA).

“We outgrew one day—too many lumpia spots and supporters to fit. So we made it a week: a daily food crawl plus Bring Lumpia to Work Day (Mar 13).”
— Gene Carangal, PACC-GSA
A brief history of lumpia
Lumpia is the Filipino take on the spring roll—shaped by centuries of cultural exchange in Southeast Asia. Often linked to Chinese-style spring rolls introduced through trade and migration, lumpia evolved in the Philippines into uniquely Filipino versions. Today, it includes fresh varieties like lumpiang sariwa (served with a sweet-savory sauce) and fried favorites like lumpiang shanghai, the crispy bite-sized roll that’s a staple at gatherings and celebrations.
