||||||
|
The upcoming 13th Philippine Festival in Tampa, popularly known by its trademark Philfest, opens its doors at the 10-acre Philippine Cultural Enrichment Complex located on 14301 Nine Eagles Drive on April 4-6. Thousands of visitors locally and from other states are expected over three days of entertainment, food, exhibits, and singing competition.

Since 1996 Philfest has been keeping visitors informed and entertained with its presentation of Philippine Arts and Culture, Exhibits, traditional songs and dances, ethnic culinary delights, and products. This year’s three-day festival dubbed Philfest 2008 offers more entertainment, programs, and content than previous years. Philippine Embassy officials from Washington D.C. and the office of the Philippine Honorary Consul General of South Florida will be onsite for its “Consulate on Wheels” program which will set office at the Bayanihan Arts Center’s Cimafranca Library. Over a decade ago, the idea of a Philippine Cultural Center of this magnitude was all but a community’s dream. Now that it has become a reality, the blood, sweat, countless hours and financial resources of the community, leaders, volunteers, and underwriters have made its mark. And to that end, their sacrifices and tradition will live on. (Basta Pinoy News) |
