Reinvigorating the Sydney Fiesta

With a new community leader at the helm, the annual Sydney Fiesta Kultura tries to be reinvigorated with some "new" in what has now become a traditional Filipino event.

For the first time, gate entrance will be open for free; and the event, which is held every first Monday of October or Labour Day, will also be without the coronation of the Miss Philippine Australia as its culminating activity, but instead Miss Transgender Global will be inaugurated on the evening... and food stalls will be international rather than the traditional Filipino food.

The new President Marivic Ayap- Flores talks to Ronald Manila about the reinvigorated fiesta.
