The largest celebration of Filipino culture on the island of Oʻahu returns May 3rd with this year’s theme — Celebrating Wellness and Heritage through Malunggay.

Join us for a full day celebrating Filipino culture and heritage with authentic food, non-stop entertainment, activities for all ages, immersive cultural experiences, and a marketplace featuring local businesses and community organizations!

Moringa, known as malunggay in Tagalog and marunggay in Ilokano is a treasured plant in Filipino gardens and culture. Through this theme, we aim to create a cultural experience that honors Filipino customs while resonating with Hawaiʻi's connection to ʻāina and sustainability. From event decorations and engaging activities to unique offerings by our vendors, guests can look forward to discovering the history, health benefits, and culinary uses of this remarkable plant.
