FIL-AM Pensacola hosts successful Asian Pacific American Festival

May 2025:  The Pensacola Fil-Am community brought the culture, cuisine and folklore of Asia and the Pacific to our area via a hugely successful 2-day event held on Saturday and Sunday, 17-18 May.

More than 3000 people attended the Festival held at the association’s cultural center in Pensacola.  This was the first year the association expanded this celebration to a community wide event and consisted of several stage performances, cultural presentations representing different countries, delicious variety of food from vendors and food trucks and several businesses showcasing their products and information.
