Embrace Filipino culture at Fiesta Filipina in Louisiana
Come October 12, the Philippine Louisiana Historical Society (PLHS), in partnership with the Philippine Consulate-New Orleans Office, the New Orleans Filipino American Lions Club (NOFALC), St. Bernard Parish Government and Los Isleños Heritage and Cultural Society, will be holding Fiesta Filipina at the Los Isleños Museum Complex (1357 Bayou Road, St. Bernard) in commemoration of the Filipino American History Month.
A family day and expo, Fiesta Filipina is a full-day feast offering not just traditional games and cultural displays but also an array of sumptuous Pinoy cuisine, historical pieces and artifacts, arts and crafts, and even free health screenings offered by vendors and volunteers.
"We invite all Filipino American families and friends in the Gulf South and other parts of the US to join this celebration. To those who aren’t familiar with our Filipino culture, join us for an immersive experience that will ignite your spirit like never before.”
A highlight at Fiesta Filipina is an Arts and History Exhibit showcasing the stories and artifacts behind the first permanent Filipino settlements in the USA–that being in Louisiana particularly the Manila Village and Clark Cheniere (both in the Town of Jean Lafitte in Jefferson Parish) and St. Malo in St. Bernard Parish.
