Fiesta Filipinas Season 2: Wagayway Festival
Who said that learning history is dreary? In the Philippines, we celebrate history, independence, and being a Filipino the fun way, with a festival! Last 12 June 2022, we celebrated the 124th anniversary of Philippine Independence, but the celebration in the Philippines never stops.
Join us virtually as we visit the birthplace of Philippine Independence and the cradle of the revolution, Cavite! Together, let’s celebrate the Wagayway Festival and discover what this patriotic province offers aside from history. See you on 25 June 2022, 10 AM (PhST) via DFA Facebook and Youtube channel (https://youtu.be/OF9QZK1F5do).
The project is organized by the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs in cooperation with the Department of Tourism, National Commission for Culture and the Arts, and the National Historical Commission.
