Philippine-American Friendship Day 18th Grand Parade
Mark your calendar and save the date for the Philippine-American Friendship Day Grand Parade on June 29, 2008. This event is one of the big annual Philippine festivals in Jersey City as it symbolizes the friendship between America and the Philippines. In New York, they celebrate this sooner — as early as first day of June.
There will be lots of activities during the parade like marching bands and floats. And then at Exchange Place, there will be celebrity performers like Philippine Diva Jessa Zaragoza and musician Mig Ayesa; food galore; cultural shows; flea market; health fair; kiddie entertainment and games; and the Grand Finals of the 2008 Filipino Idol Singing Competition.
