💡 Tips for Making the Most of Your Visit

🍜 Come hungry and arrive early. With many food vendors offering regional Filipino cuisines, plan to sample from multiple stalls. Early arrival avoids long lines and gives you time to explore all food options.

💵 Bring cash and cards. While most vendors accept both, having cash is helpful for quick purchases. Budget for food, drinks, and marketplace items.

☀️ Prepare for August weather. Bring sunscreen, a hat or sunglasses, and plenty of water to stay comfortable during daytime festivities. The park has some shade under trees, but it’s an outdoor event.

👟 Wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be walking around 143 acres of park exploring food vendors, performances, games, and booths. Comfortable walking shoes are essential.

🎮 Don’t miss the traditional games. Palo sebo and other Filipino parlor games are crowd favorites for all ages. Budget time to participate and laugh with family and friends.

🎵 Stay for the evening performances. The best cultural performances and live music often happen as the sun sets. Plan to stay into the evening when temperatures cool and the festival energy peaks.
