Pamayanan: a Filipino Arts & Culture celebration
1 – 4:30PM
Free and outdoors! All are welcome to Pamayanan (‘community’). This event is about bringing together different perspectives of Filipino dance, music, martial arts, and culture, across three generations. We want to highlight Filipino-American History month and invite people to experience our culture, and promote anti-hate of AAPI through resources and information.
Pamayanan is 2 days (Saturday Oct 15 and Sunday Oct 16), in a different location each day. Featured performances and activities also vary each date.
We encourage you to attend both days, and bring a [Filipino] potluck picnic to share with others!
Saturday October 15 is at Windmuller Park/Lawrence Virgilio Playground in Woodside, Queens, 1:00-5:00pm
Sunday October 16 is at CultureLab LIC in Long Island City, Queens, 1:00-4:30pm
