🇵🇭 Help Keep Pinoy Festival Alive — Support the Pinoy Festival 2026 50/50 Draw 🇵🇭

For the past years, Pinoy Festival has been more than just a celebration. It has been a place where families gather, cultures connect, traditions are passed on, and our community proudly shares its story with British Columbia and Canada.

Today, festivals across BC are facing unprecedented challenges. Rising costs, increasing operational expenses, and a decline in sponsorship support have made it increasingly difficult for cultural festivals to survive. Pinoy Festival is no exception.
That is why we are turning to the community and friends. We believe Filipino Festival is needed now more than ever. In a time when people seek connection, belonging, cultural pride, and community spirit, this festival serves as a bridge between generations and a platform to celebrate the rich contributions of Filipinos to Canada.

Every 50/50 ticket purchased is more than a chance to win cash, it is an investment in preserving Filipino culture, supporting community programs, showcasing local artists and businesses, and ensuring that future generations can continue to experience and celebrate their heritage.

The future of Pinoy Festival cannot depend on a few organizations or sponsors alone. It takes a community. It takes Bayanihan.

We ask our kababayans, friends, supporters, and all who believe in multiculturalism and community-building to stand with us. Buy a ticket. Share the raffle. Encourage your family and friends to participate.

Together, we can ensure that Pinoy Festival continues to thrive and remains a proud symbol of Filipino heritage in British Columbia for years to come.
