The 15th annual Filipino Festival is a celebration of culture and the amazing Filipino foods that make up a huge part of it. There will also be a variety of anime/retail vendors and a full lineup of performances at this Asian food festival. This free food festival is about highlighting the diversity of food and an opportunity for small businesses to show their culture through their food.
Please RSVP and this will help us have an accurate head count to share with food vendors. This is a free event though and tickets are not needed to enter the event. You can also order online from Happy Buns to guarantee availability during the event as they often sell out.
