PAAT Barrio Fiesta and Santacruzan 2017
The Pilipino American Association of Tampa Bay, Inc. (PAAT), in cooperation with the Philippine Cultural Foundation, Inc. (PCFI) once brings you Barrio Fiesta and Santacruzan 2017 at the Bayanihan Arts and Events Center on Sunday, August 13, 2017 from 12:00 noon to 6:00pm.
Like a little PhilFest in August, Barrio Fiesta brings you an afternoon of non-stop entertainment, Filipino food, shopping and games for all ages. The “Santacruzan”, the highlight of the event, is a parade presenting muses from the community. This is derived from a Philippine May-event, a religious pageant towards the end of “Flores de Mayo”, where the prominent ladies in town parade in the streets representing various titles of the Virgin Mary in honor of Helena of Constantinople (known as Reyna Elena) and Constantine the Great.
Entertainment at Barrio Fiesta will be provided by the Philippine Performing Arts Company, Inc., Musikong Kawayan Bamboo Ensemble and Philippine Choral Group among others.
Admission to “Barrio Fiesta” is $5.00 and free for children 5 years and under. The Bayanihan Arts and Events Center is located at 14301 Nine Eagles Drive, Tampa, FL 33626.
