Filipino events in Canberra

Canberra's Filipino community is small but tightly organised. Tuggeranong and Kambah hold the Filipino-Australian families, Belconnen holds the embassy and government professional class, Gungahlin holds the newer arrivals. Sinulog parade every January through Civic pulls one thousand, Sunday Tagalog Mass at St Christopher's Cathedral, Independence Day at Glebe Park every June, parol-lit Christmas at Canberra Theatre Centre, OPM concerts at the AIS Arena. The Philippine Embassy runs year-round cultural events that feed into the community calendar. The ANU and University of Canberra Filipino Students Societies pull fresh student energy each semester. Filipino basketball tournaments at the AIS Arena double as cultural gatherings. The Filipino Australian Cultural Society of the ACT anchors the year-round calendar. EventLinqs is built for Canberra Filipino organisers running events that thread homeland warmth through the federal capital.
