The San Diego Bayside Arts Festival in conjunction with…
The San Diego County Fair is coming back this summer from June 3 to July 4! This year’s theme is “Mad about the Fair,” featuring Lewis Carroll Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, fused with influences from steampunk, cosplay, wacky machinery, and all the fun and magic you have come to expect.
And we are happy to announce the 2nd annual, award-winning, Asian Festival Day at the Fair returning on June 12! This event is a celebration of Asian and Pacific Islander cultures, featuring music, dance and martial arts performances, as well as fashion and community-based organizations representing China, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, India, Hawai’i, and Japan.
The Asian Festival will kick off at the Del Mar Arena with the Best Dance Crew contest, continue with cultural performances from various countries, and culminate at the Plaza Stage with contemporary acts, including Katriz Trinidad, who advanced to the “knock out” round on NBC’s “The Voice.”
The Asian Cultural Festival of San Diego will be held on Saturday, May 7th, 2016, at our new home – in the Mira Mesa Community Park!
During this free, fun, family friendly, festive event, there will be martial arts, ethnic dances, cultural exhibitions, entertainment, games, and of course, food! Event will take place from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm! This event is a pet friendly and smoking-free environment.
The theme of this year’s Gising Na Pilipinx Culture Night will focus on Trascending Our Struggles. Members of the Pilipinx and Pilipinx-American community will come together and create a safe space for voices of several beloved community members to be heard of their own personal struggles within their Pilipinx and Pilipinx-American cultural identity. From the struggle of being half-Pilipinx and half white told through VAMP, to using the love of Pilipinx food to share the struggles of their childhood past told through spoken word, we share the stage to these voices in hopes of evading the dangers of telling a single story of our own unique experiences with our history and culture.

The Filipino Sun Festival is the newest festival to hit Mira Mesa that will celebrate Filipino and Filipino American culture. The 2nd Annual Filipino Sun Festival will be celebrating and sharing Filipino American culture Saturday, April 4th, at the Mira Mesa Park in Mira Mesa, San Diego, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM! This is located at the corner of Mira Mesa Blvd New Salem Street. You can map the Mira Mesa Park and Recreation Center at 8575 New Salem St, San Diego, CA 92126.
The Filipino Sun is historically (and geographically) significant, as the sun symbolizes un
ity, freedom, people’s democracy, and sovereignty, while each of the eight rays represent the first eight provinces (Manila, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Laguna, and Batangas) that rose up and started the 1896 Philippine Revolution against Spain.
At the Filipino Sun Festival, there will be traditional and contemporary fun for the whole family in a FREE festival hosted and presented to you by Operation Samahan and produced by Silk Road Productions and the community. “Produced by the community?” Yes! The team assembling this ambitious celebration of Filipino American pride will be made up of people like you who care about the community – Filipino American and non-Filipino American alike!
This isn’t just another festival, it’s going to be a project that directly involves the youth of Mira Mesa and will let them be involved with the production and marketing of the event. And this will be a sister festival to both the Filipino Arts and Culture Festival, otherwise known as FilAmFest, and the Asian Cultural Festival of San Diego – so you can expect some awesome Filipino American fun!
p://sandiegoindiefest.comIn a world run by a handful of dominant corporate influences, independent art, business and community groups are more precious than ever before. They’re what give a place a sense of culture, color and uniqueness. They’re the direct reflection of the human beings who live there. Without them, we’d see nothing but billboard, strip-mall sameness no matter where we go.
Supporting and growing this independent spirit is the first step toward harnessing our collective power to honor diversity and manifest justice and change.
