Ask how anyone found the food section and you get the same answer three times over: somebody told them. Not a listing, not an ad — a cousin, a coworker, a person who went once and could not shut up about it afterward. Pancit, lumpia, lechon, sinigang, halo-halo, and the regional dishes that shift from one island province to the next.
Four decades in, this is among the largest gatherings of Filipino and Filipino American art and community anywhere in the country, and it is free, outdoors, and organized by the people it is for rather than by an outside producer who studied the market. That distinction shows up everywhere. Folk dance companies and Kulintang ensembles share the main stage with Fil-Am songwriters, original theater, and film, putting the generation that arrived and the generation born here into the same afternoon on purpose.
Two days in September, tens of thousands of people, no ticket.
Send it to the friend whose lola's cooking you have heard about for years.
