What to do at the Philippine Festival Tokyo 2024?

The Philippine Festival Tokyo is an annual event for Filipinos celebrating Filipino culture through food, performances, and experience. It is organized by the Philippine Assistance Group and supported by the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo.

This year’s Philippine Festival has Smiles Mobile Remittance, known as the most popular mobile money transfer app in Japan, as their only major sponsor once again, so attendees can expect it to be as grand, or even grander than last year’s.

Here’s what you can do on the two-day event:

Munch on Filipino Food

If you haven’t gone back to the Philippines for quite some time, you’re probably missing the food back home. This is a really good chance to get a taste of your favorites and satisfy your craving, as there will be multiple food booths at the event selling famous Filipino delicacies. From halo-halo to pinoy-style barbeque, you’ll definitely find something for you!
