Get ready, Sydney — the vibrant sights, sounds, and flavours of the Philippines are set to take over Fairfield Showground on Sunday, 5 October 2025, as the 35th Grand Philippine Fiesta Kultura makes its highly anticipated return.
Organised by the Philippine Australian Sports & Culture Inc. (PASC Inc.), this annual fiesta is the largest and longest-running Filipino cultural festival in Australia, celebrating more than three decades of tradition, heritage, and community spirit. Each year, thousands gather to immerse themselves in the warmth and colour of Filipino culture, and 2025 promises to be the most spectacular yet.
A Major Highlight: Eat Bulaga Live!
This year’s festival will be extra special, with Eat Bulaga, the Philippines’ longest-running noontime variety show, headlining the event. For the first time, Sydney audiences will experience a full live show direct from Manila, featuring the program’s legendary hosts, entertainers, and iconic games. Expect laughter, music, and the signature “dabarkads” energy that has captured the hearts of millions across generations.
For Filipino-Australians, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a cultural institution live on stage — a true treat for fans of all ages.
Fiesta Highlights
Kamayan at Kuwentuhan
Food lovers are in for a feast with Kamayan at Kuwentuhan — a traditional communal meal where classic Filipino dishes are served on banana leaves and shared by hand. More than just dining, it’s an experience of togetherness, storytelling, and cultural connection.
Miss Philippines-Australia & Little Miss Philippines-Australia
A much-loved highlight of the Fiesta, these pageants celebrate beauty, grace, and Filipino pride. Beyond the glamour, the competitions raise vital funds to support PASC Inc.’s charitable projects across both Australia and the Philippines.
