The PhilFest stage will be an extravaganza of non-stop entertainment, featuring mesmerizing performances by PCFI’s resident performing groups and culturally rich showcases by visiting artists from various states, including the vibrant talents from Canada. The festival promises an array of engaging segments such as the “Tanghalang Pambata” Talent Competition for Children, “Tawag ng Tanghalan” Singing Competition for Adults, “Yugyugan” Street Dancing, “Flores de PhilFest”, and a host of other captivating events!

In the spotlight, PhilFest 2024 will conduct the search for the next “Miss/Mrs PhilFest” from a pool of contestants, each representing her respective Filipino-American organization. Attendees can look forward to witnessing these contestants, along with other vibrant participants, in spirited street parades like “Flores de PhilFest” and the grand “PhilFest Parade.”
