3rd Annual Filipino American History Month Commemoration
Thursday, October 15, 2026 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Third Thursdays
FREE
This Filipino American History Month, The Filipino American National Historical Society – Greater Puget Sound Chapter (FANHS-GPS) welcomes the community for free programming exploring the important role of land in shaping generations of Filipino and Filipino American life in Washington state. The program will feature Filipino American community organizations and vendors, along with performances, demonstrations, and opportunities to connect through shared history, culture, and traditions.
About the “We the People Lecture Series”
The “We the People Lecture Series” takes place on “Third Thursday” evenings when Washington State History Museum admission is free. The series invites everyone to explore what it means to be a Washingtonian and how that identity connects to the nation’s founding ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Each session will look at this idea from different perspectives, helping us see the many ways people understand and experience Washington’s story.
The series will team up with local cultural groups, historical and heritage organizations, Tribal museums, and educators to encourage community participation and highlight the importance of sharing history. Programs will include a mix of talks, demonstrations, trivia, and performances that combine learning with fun, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
The “We the People Lecture Series” is a part of Washington State’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Learn more about how to get involved at: www.America250WA.org.
