ABOUT US

Committed to highlighting and sharing our Filipino culture and uplifting the communityI

Pista is proud to be an officially sanctioned Seafair community event. Pista celebrates the very best of being Filipino. Pista sa Nayon is a beautiful expression of cultural pride and traditions among local Filipinos. In the spirit of community and true Filipino hospitality, Pista extends a hand of friendship and welcomes neighbors from across this region and beyond to experience all things Filipino. Pista is a festival that celebrates the Filipino culture while allowing a melting pot of people to come together as one. 

Founded in 1990 by then-King County Councilmember Ron Sims and leaders of the Filipino Community, Pista was established out of a desire to preserve and celebrate their culture, it also serves as a bridge to bring people of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate as a community. People of all backgrounds and from all communities in the region are invited to enjoy an authentic Filipino event with food; business, information, and arts & crafts booths; cultural and contemporary live entertainment; and children's games. We come together to learn, preserve and celebrate Filipino culture.
