One of the practices that are still being observed by the Filipino community abroad is the fiesta. The members of the Noveleta Association of Southern California marked its annual Grand Fiesta in San Diego, California, USA on May 13, 2017. With guests coming from as far as Virginia and Washington DC, the gathering was attended by approximately a thousand US-based Noveletans.
Fiesta is an annual commemoration of a town’s patron saint wherein people actively partake in the activities such as parade dance, marching bands, night concerts, and processions. This celebration is deeply rooted in the Filipino culture until today as it is an expression of the people’s devotion to their faith.
