So Sarap! Philippine Festival is a unique cultural experience presenting a world-class celebration of Philippine and Filipino American arts, culture and history. San Diego is home to the second largest concentration of the Filipino diaspora outside of the Philippines. Our approach is to provide a destination event that reflects the diversity and hospitality of the Philippines, showcasing our contributions from around the world. We will attract and highlight local, regional, national and international artists, performers, and talents to educate the public of our past, present, and future.
This free family-friendly event takes place on Saturday, October 14, 2023, from 10:00AM – 8:00PM at Waterfront Park in downtown San Diego. Presented by the PASACAT Philippine Performing Arts Company, So Sarap! is our signature festival bridging the exchange of commerce and culture between the United States, Philippines, San Diego and beyond.
Waterfront Park is easily accessible via the Trolley. Take the UC San Diego Blue Line or Green Line right to County Center/Little Italy and the festival will be just steps away from the station.
