The 18th Fiesta Folkloriada

The 18th Fiesta Folkloriada brings culture and education together through music and dance, fostering peace, respect, and unity in diversity. A flagship project of the Bayanihan Folk Arts Foundation, the festival has grown from its roots as Lawiswis into an internationally recognized cultural exchange under the auspices of FIDAF (The Federation of International Dance Festivals).

Since its inception, Fiesta Folkloriada has showcased top dance companies from around the globe, who share, perform, and teach their traditional art forms for free across all venues. With support from the Department of Tourism, the Ambassador Alfonso T. Yuchengco Foundation, and other partners, it continues to be a vital celebration of global artistry and cultural understanding.

Join us in celebrating the richness of traditions and the spirit of cultural exchange as the festival kicks off on Sunday, December 1 at 6:00 PM, at Hyundai Hall, Areté.

Admission to the event is free and open to the public!
