Thank you for believing in this vision and helping us build something our community can be proud of.

Maraming salamat. ❤️

As Filipino Island Fest has grown, so have the costs of producing it. What started as a community gathering has grown into a major Filipino cultural celebration, bringing together thousands of attendees, vendors, performers, artists, volunteers, and community organizations.

Admission fees help support festival infrastructure, safety, entertainment, cultural programming, staffing, permits, sanitation, and operations while allowing us to continue growing the festival sustainably.

Our goal has always been to create a meaningful space where Filipino culture can be celebrated, shared, and passed on to future generations. We’ve worked hard to keep ticket prices affordable and accessible for our community.

Thank you for helping us build something special. ❤️
