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.

📅 Saturday, May 3, 2025

🕙 10 AM – 6 PM

📍 Filipino Community Center, Waipahu, HI

The Flores de Mayo & Filipino Fiesta is a flagship project of the Filipino Community Center. This year, it will be spearheaded by the Filipino Jaycees of Honolulu in partnership with the Filipino community.

Bringing together the work of 49 artists and artist collectives, across multiple sites, on three islands, Hawai‘i Triennial 2025 (HT25) is the state’s largest, thematic exhibition of contemporary art from Hawai‘i, the Pacific, and beyond. Every three years, Hawai‘i Contemporary presents the Triennial across museums, galleries, and outdoor and unconventional art spaces, and offers a complementary program of public engagements.

Entitled ALOHA NŌ, HT25 invites visitors to [re]consider their own notions and preconceptions of aloha. Artists will explore the practice of aloha, as it engenders a deep connectivity to the ʻāina (land), oceanic environment, elements, and each other. It enables us to protect and defend inter-archipelagic relations, that which we love, and our mutual interdependence.

Each month join local musicians for genre base workshops, ensembles, and open mics.

Bring your instrument or borrow.

This is our third year and we are looking forward to providing free music education for years to come. Please enjoy sharing and all the events at BIG (Big Island Guitar).

Unlike any other music gathering we encourage all to come learn and teach. We cover music theory how to chart songs and meet others that share your passion for music…. Heck possibly even form a group!

One of our instructors, Wago Howard, shares the event via YouTube for those who choose the couch tour approach.
