12th Annual Filipino Festival

Mabuhay! Welcome! Virginia’s largest Filipino Festival rolls into town with a million smiles and thousands of lumpias, empandas, turons, kebobs, and more. Enjoy these and other delicious, authentic dishes. Quench your thirst with San Miguel island brew, a favorite Virginia wine, or the king of desserts, “halo-halo.” The Festival schedule is full of lively and colorful entertainment – both traditional and contemporary. Live dance bands, hands-on-crafts and games for the children, specialty vendors, health screenings, and more. Plenty of popular line-dancing throughout the Festival. FREE ADMISSION. Run or walk the 5K Race ‘N Roll for the Colorado Fund for Muscular Dystrophy. All race participants receive Filipino food and other goodies.

Proceeds benefit various charities. Past support included the Richmond chapters of the Alzheimer’s Association and the National Alliance On Mental Illness, the Veterans’ Hospital, Cameron K. Gallagher Foundation (teen depression), Reach Out for Life (breast cancer), the Lakeside Volunteer Rescue Squad, OLL’s community outreach programs, and much more.

The Festival is held on the grounds of Our Lady of Lourdes, one of Richmond’s most culturally diverse Catholic Church communities with over 1,500 families. The parish has a Blue-Ribbon school for pre-K through 8th grade students. For more information and full menu items, go to www.filipinofestival.org or phone (804) 262-7315. There’s something for everybody at the Filipino Festival. Join us and leave the Festival with a smile.
