The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Parade of Stars will take place on December 19, 2025, and will cover around 8.4km from Macapagal Boulevard to Circuit Makati. It is expected to take an hour and 45 minutes to complete.
To better manage traffic along the route, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will close select lanes and implement a stop-go-traffic scheme around Makati City. After starting, the parade will make its way towards Buendia Avenue, Ayala Avenue, Makati Avenue, J.P. Rizal Street, and then A. Reyes Avenue before concluding in Circuit Makati.
The MMDA is advising motorists to plan their trips ahead and take alternative routes to avoid the heavy traffic. Lane closures and other traffic adjustments will be in effect from 12:01pm to 10pm on December 19. The parade proper will start at 1pm.
