Local performers, DJs, and food vendors will be on site to celebrate the diversity of Philadelphia, and the many ways that the Filipino community has continued to the beautiful tapestry of the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection for well over a century, when the first Filipino Philadelphians arrived in 1909. The Filipino American Association of Philadelphia is a non-profit affiliate of America250 PA.
