Celebrate Filipino culture with food, music, dance & island vibes at the 3rd Annual Filipino Island Fest!About this Event
Filipino Island Fest 2026 Tickets Are Here!
Last year, more than 30,000 people joined us on the waterfront to celebrate Filipino culture through food, music, art, entrepreneurship, and community.
What many people don't see are the months of planning, permits, infrastructure, security, entertainment, and hundreds of people working behind the scenes to bring the festival to life.
This year, for the first time, Filipino Island Fest will be a ticketed event.
We wanted to keep it affordable and accessible while creating a sustainable future for the festival and allowing us to continue growing this celebration for years to come.

Why We're Charging Admission
As the festival has grown, so have the costs of producing it. What started as a community gathering has grown into one of the largest Filipino cultural celebrations in the country, bringing together thousands of attendees, hundreds of 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 in a sustainable way.
Our goal has always been to create a meaningful space where Filipino culture can be celebrated, shared, and passed on to future generations. We have worked hard to keep ticket prices affordable and accessible for our community.
Thank you for helping us build something special. ❤️
