A Filipino-style fiesta will be held on November 26 and 27 at Laverton, here in Victoria. Celebrating Pinoy food and culture, there would be a charity beauty pageant, music, dance and variety shows complete with visiting Filipino celebrities. Here’s the schedule of activities from the organiser’s site. For foodies hunkering for some lechon (roast pig) and other Filipino delicacies, here’s your opportunity to taste some without going to the Philippines. Wonder if there would be some palabok on sale?

Although we could theoretically go on both days, I think we’d just pick one day. We still have to make arrangements for a final inspection before the settlement date for the new house on the 30th, so whichever day we won’t spend on inspecting the house would be the day we attend the fiesta. Nevertheless, we’re keen to go and see what’s on since we’ve never been to a Philippine fiesta here in Australia before. See you there!
