Looking for a way to go to a great Filipino festival that respects tradition, taste, music and fashion?
For many Southern Californians, that fun journey will take them to historic Filipinotown, specifically Beverly Boulevard between Union Avenue and Union Place, on Saturday, May 4th.
That's when Balyo Hi-Fi, the first-ever celebration “commemorating the contributions of the Filipino community and the cultural significance of Greater Los Angeles' historic Filipino Town,” will be held.
This lively afternoon-to-evening event is free and includes a variety of participatory activities, shopping opportunities, and dance-filled musical performances.
The entertainment roster includes “performances by Eek, Rini, Esta, and So Super Sam, as well as an art exhibit curated by Kristofferson San Pablo and focused on Filipino-American perspectives in contemporary art.” will appear. Rapper P-Lo and DJ Noodles will lead the music and art presentation.
Festival goers can also stop by delicious favorites like The Park's Finest, Big Boy, Jollibee, and Wanderlust Creamery to enjoy the “best of Filipino food” in a delicious celebration.
And the festival's vibrant marketplace will celebrate Filipino-American makers and small businesses and spotlight their products. Sari Sari is curated in partnership with All Purpose Sauce LA.
“We are excited to kick off AAPI Heritage Month with the Philippine Festival at Historic Filipino Town,” said the Baryo HiFi team.
“We hope this celebration of culture and tradition will ignite new energy in the neighborhood and empower Filipino Americans to grow HiFi into a hub of community, culture and business.”
