ALL THE ARTISTS!
And to the many folks who were not mentioned at press time, but whose contributions are invaluable to ensure that our
tradition continues – MARAMING, MARAMING SALAMAT PO! OUR HEARTFELT THANKS.
Welcome to the official website of the 17th Annual Festival Philippine Arts and Culture. We are so thankful and excited to be back again for yet another wonderful celebration!
We invite you to come back to the Festival, and bring new friends and family members to the beautiful seaside park Pt. Fermin, and enjoy the entertainment, food, marketplace and FUN for the whole family. If this will be your first time, welcome! Tuloy po kayong lahat!
FPAC is the largest and longest running annual Filipino tradition in Southern California -
...85 exhibitors…
…450 volunteers…
…1,200 artists…
and over 25,000 guests keep FPAC alive year after year. It is you, the community, who have supported this celebration, make it all possible.
This year’s theme is katutubong landas tungo masaganang bukas – “native ways toward a prosperous future.”
It is our native ways, our traditions, that anchor our community. It is also through our native ways, our human experiences, that we find common threads that interweave the diverse communities that make up our landscape. Whether we refer to "community" as the youth, the various groups that make up Los Angeles, or the community of Pilipinos worldwide, it is our native ways – of song, of dance, of art, of cuisine, of cultivating the earth – that we pass on to future generations, to continue to ensure a prosperous future.
In keeping with the theme of ensuring a prosperous, sustainable future, we will, as in previous years, will provide bus transportation from various locations across LA County. We will have location information posted on our site as soon as it is finalized.
Check back often for more updates on any information regarding the Festival. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at info@filamarts.org.
