On July 23 & 24, Bathurst St. and Wilson Ave. plays host to a new and massive Filipino Street Festival called FUN PHILIPPINES! Organized by the Philippine Legacy and Cultural Alliance (PLACA), the festival celebrates 2022 and Filipino diversity with food, music and culture through inclusive and fun collaborations with artists and creative partners, community leaders, food establishments and chefs, and various groups that advocate for true Filipino representation in the mainstream.
Spanning a one-kilometre stretch in Bathurst St., festival goers will enjoy live performances, Filipino games and activities, cultural installations, street dancing, karaoke, storytelling, kamayan feast, food and craft demos and carnival rides.
FUN PHILIPPINES through PLACA will continue to partner with TFC, The Filipino Channel in providing the biggest performers on both days.
Reconnecting after social restrictions in the past two years is paramount to the organizers’ minds as they work hard to mount a festival for everyone, and a reason to engage and enjoy outdoor activities with friends and family. It will be a huge street party and a summer to remember for the Canadian community this July!
