Once a year in the small town of Kananga, Philippines ( Where my wife grew up ) a Fiesta takes place that involves the entire town. People are all over the streets celebrating and drinking the native drink tuba, the alcoholic drink that does not give you a hang over. The Fiesta is about family, and enjoying karaoke, eating, and as said before, drinking. Below is a picture of a traditional Philippines Fiesta in Cebu.

There is also a Philippines Fiesta that is held in the United States for American Filipinos to enjoy. The two-day Philippine Fiesta is one of the biggest indoor gathering of Filipino Americans in the East Coast. It features a trade pavilion with exhibitors from both the United States and the Philippines, a cultural festival with local groups and performers, and a concert featuring top artists from the Philippines. Furthermore, on the Friday night before the Philippine Fiesta weekend, a gala is held to welcome exhibitors, dignitaries, performers, Miss Philippine Fiesta Pageant finalists, and other special guests.
