Kumbira is a professional and student culinary show and live competition held in Cagayan de Oro, Mindanao, Philippines.[1] It is the largest culinary event in Mindanao, lasting for three days.[2] Kumbira means "dinner party" or "feast" in Cebuano, usually referring to party occasions such as birthdays, weddings and bigger events such as fiestas. It possibly came from a Spanish word comida means "food", or convida means "to invite".
