About
The Kamayan Festival is a celebration that highlights the vibrancy and richness of Filipinx culture through food, art, and entertainment. This free community event invites everyone of all ages to experience the heart and soul of the Philippines.
Kamayan describes the act of eating with the bare hands, which is the traditional pre-colonial method of eating in Filipinx culture. Kamayan also describes the traditional comminal feasts or family meals.
Kamayan eating has brought Filipinxs together for thousands of years, and is practiced to this day as a way of paying tribute to the heritage of our culture.
