This year's theme, "Palakasin ang Bayanihang Pilipino," or Strengthening the Filipino Bayanihan Spirit, celebrates Bayanihan, a core Filipino value that embodies the spirit of unity and cooperation among Filipinos. The event will feature Filipino food trucks, cultural performances, family -friendly children's games, a martial arts demonstration, an art exhibit, a karaoke contest, and activities that promote Filipino history in Hawaii.
