Barrio Fiesta is a community celebration in commemoration of October's Filipino American History Month (FAHM).
This year's theme is "Pagkakaisa, Pamana, at Pag-asa" Unity, Heritage, and Hope. We celebrate the enduring
Filipino spirit by honoring our cultural heritage, strengthening community bonds, and looking toward a hopeful
future. The event will feature Filipino food trucks, cultural performances, family-friendly children's games, martial
arts demonstrations, an art exhibit, karaoke contest, and activities that promote Filipino history in Hawai'i. In 2009,
Congress declared October as Filipino American History Month (FAHM), commemorating the first recorded presence
of Filipinos in the continental United States on October 18, 1587. Filipinos are the second largest ethnic group in
Hawai'i and the last immigrant group to be brought to Hawai'i as plantation laborers, also known as sakadas.
