Buhay: The Filipino American Experience
Thursday, October 16, 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Join us at the Washington State History Museum to commemorate Filipino American History Month. The word buhay means “alive” or “life” in Tagalog, so this community event will explore how the Filipino community lives and finds happiness in Washington. Curated by the Filipino American National Historical Society – Greater Puget Sound Chapter, this afternoon and evening of free programming will feature Filipino American community organizations and vendors, performances and demonstrations, and a panel conversation that showcases Filipino American heritage and history.
The Filipino American National Historical Society Greater Puget Sound Chapter will curate and facilitate this program. FANHS-GPS is dedicated to sharing Filipino American narratives and providing platforms for Filipino Americans in our state to share their histories. This partnered program is held to honor Filipino American History Month.
