This year's celebration explores Filipino journeys through American history and art. There will be a focus on early sea trade connections between the Philippines and California, how they formed our Filipino American communities, and how they shaped artistic production in Asia and the Americas. Highlights include musical theatre excerpts, artist displays and
demonstrations, films, talks by visiting scholars, and fun activities for all ages!
See photos of past celebrations. Please check back often for schedule updates.
*Target First Free Sundays—free general admission on the first Sunday of every month and the family programs offered on that day—is made possible by Target. Free admission is granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to capacity restrictions, admission is not guaranteed.
