Filipino festival in Queensland shines spotlight on unity, culture, and the spirit of bayanihan

BAYANIHAN FESTIVAL 2024

Celebrating culture and unity at Bayanihan Festival, organised by Filipino Australian Brisbane Society Inc.

The Bayanihan Festival in Brisbane celebrates the Filipino tradition of working together in unity, while marking an early tribute to the 127th Philippines Independence Day. This event invites the community to come together in honouring Filipino culture, heritage, and the spirit of helping one another.


Key Points
  • At its core, bayanihan represents the timeless Filipino value of coming together to help one another without expecting anything in return. This tradition, often symbolized by neighbors literally carrying a house to a new location, echoes a deeper cultural commitment to unity and shared responsibility.
  • FABS President Dixie Morante said, celebrating bayanihan also honours the legacy of heroism found in everyday Filipinos.
  • The festival on June 7 is free and open to everyone, inviting people from all backgrounds to immerse themselves in Filipino hospitality, traditions, and vibrant creativity.
