FIL FIESTA 559: A Celebration of Filipino Culture in the Central Valley

Get ready for a day of fun and community, celebrating the richness of Filipino culture! We are THRILLED to bring FIL FIESTA 559 to Downtown Fresno in 2026.

Taste and shop local with Filipino food vendors, small businesses, and makers offering crafts, clothing and gifts. Celebrate our culture and history with a visit to our art gallery and museum (inside maarte!)... and throughout the day, let the voices of Filipino artists nourish your soul.
