Dive into Filipino Heritage at the 30th Annual FPAC!
Mark your calendars! The Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture (FPAC) returns to its historic home at Point Fermin Park in San Pedro on September 14th (12-9 PM) for a vibrant celebration of Filipino heritage. This year promises to be an unforgettable affair, drawing the largest demographic of Filipinos and Filipino Americans in Los Angeles, alongside anyone who wants to experience the rich tapestry of Filipino culture.

A Scenic Homecoming:

Point Fermin Park isn't just a venue – it's a symbolic backdrop. After a 19-year hiatus, FPAC returns to this cherished location, offering breathtaking views of the Los Angeles Harbor. Imagine swaying to the music with the Pacific Ocean as your stage – it'll be a truly unforgettable experience. The park's historical significance adds another layer, as it was once a popular gathering place for early Filipino immigrants. FPAC's return honors this legacy, creating a bridge between past and present.

A Stellar Lineup:

Get ready to be dazzled! FPAC boasts a headlining roster that will have you grooving all day. Legendary musician Joe Bataan, known as the "King of Latin Soul," will bring his infectious energy to the stage. Tia Carrere, a multi-talented actress and singer, will showcase her versatility. The electrifying Bambu, along with the dynamic duo Jake Zrus & Cheesa, are sure to keep the party going. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! FPAC features a diverse range of performers, ensuring there's something for everyone.
