MAS pinabongga at mas pinalaki pa ang magaganap na “Fiesta In America” ngayong taon sa New Jersey Meadowlands Expo Center sa Secaucus.
Ang “Fiesta In America 2018 Expo & Cultural Show” ang magiging 20th anniversary edition ng taunang Pinoy event sa US na pinangungunan ng Chief Executive Officer nitong si Nanding Mendez.
Magiging special guests sa gaganaping cultural show sa August 11 at 12 ang mga Kapamilya stars na sina Elmo Magalona at Janella Salvador. Asahan na ang kilig at good vibes na dala ng ElNella loveteam na siguradong ikatutuwa ng mga kababayan nating Pinoy sa America.
Bukod kina Janella at Elmo, makakasama rin sa selebrasyong ito ang award-winning singer-songwriter and comedian na si Ogie Alcasid. Siyempre bukod sa kanyang mga baong punchlines, haharanahin din niya ang mga dadalo sa “fiesta” with some of his biggest hits.
All-time Filipino favorites pop-rock icon Gary Lewis And The Playboys, on the other hand, will revive golden memories with their string of seven Top 10 hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, including “This Diamond Ring,” “Count Me In”, “Save Your Heart For Me,” “She’s Just My Style,” “Everybody Loves A Clown,” “Green Grass” and “Sure Gonna Miss Her.”
“This year, no less than 14 exporters of handicraft, holiday décor, personal accessories, packaged food and other Philippine goods will exhibit their unique products under the Region IV-A (CALABARZON) banner.
“The Trade Pavilion will also feature tourism exhibits, immigrant-tailored financial and other services, free health screenings and self-improvement workshops, and Total Wellness presentations.
“This will include AARP workshops on how to prevent fraud online, and free sampling of healthful recipes and a workshop on ‘cultural eating’ by Goya Foods as part of the event’s Total Wellness theme,” pahayag ni Mr. Mendez.
“A native food court stocked with regional delicacies, as well as artistic and fun activities for all age groups, will round up the festivities on both days. In the morning of August 12, a Sunday Mass and a colorful Santacruzan pageant will launch the second day’s celebration,” dagdag pa niya.
Aside from this, Fiesta In America’s community-tribute gala, the People’s Ball, will be held on Friday, Aug. 10, at the Meadowlands Hilton in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The People’s Ball will be highlighted by the presentation of awards for outstanding Fil-Am achievers in diverse fields.
