It looks like I missed this year’s celebrations by a month or two. Not Filipino myself, but I have a lot of Filipino friends and I’ve always loved the live event production I see in Filipino culture celebrations. Anyways, I think cultural celebrations should all be treated like St. Patrick’s day: You don’t need to be Irish to drink green beer. In celebrating one culture, you are celebrating culture and humanity in and of itself, and I think everyone should feel privleged to be a part of that. I’ll keep a little more up to date next time around and see if I can find an event within driving distance.

Cool! TAYO Literary Magazine will definitely be at the Carson one... So look out for us! I've been going to Carson's Philippine Independence since I was in baby's cloths.

BTW, the Carson one is in its 110th year! That's a lot of festivals!
