The Filipino community in North Texas is getting ready to celebrate something historic this weekend – the largest Filipino festival in the state.
The festival is just one piece of an even bigger mission – to open a new Filipino community center in North Texas.– which means ‘market’ in the Tagalog language of the Philippines – is expected to draw in more than 10,000 people this Saturday at Asia Times Square in Grand Prairie. The free event runs from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.The festival aims to share the food, music, art, dances, and experiences of the Filipino culture with the DFW community.
“There's a lot more Filipinos coming into the DFW Metroplex from California and Washington state. So as they're coming here, it's normal for them to have community,” said Conrad Alagaban, Jr., finance chair for PACE. After years of creating connections with other Filipino groups in the nation, as well as Filipino-owned businesses and new transplants to DFW, Sampelo co-founded the first Lone Star Palengke event in 2021.
