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

This event invites the community to come together in honouring Filipino culture, heritage, and the spirit of helping one another.

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

Key Points

• At its core, bayanihan represents the timeless Filipino value of coming together to help one another without expecting anything in return.

• 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.
