Looking for a summer highlight that combines amazing food, cultural performances, and gives back to the community? Mark your calendar for July 12th!

The Ultimate Filipino Summer Party With Heart
Picture this: colorful banners swaying in the summer breeze, the irresistible aroma of authentic Filipino cuisine filling the air, and the infectious energy of cultural performances that'll have you reaching for your phone to capture every moment. That's just a taste of what awaits at Pista Sa Nayon 2025!
If you're wondering what "Pista Sa Nayon" means, think of it as the Filipino version of "town festival" – a celebration that's been part of Filipino culture for centuries. Originally a harvest celebration in rural villages, it has evolved into something much bigger: a vibrant showcase of Filipino heritage that brings communities together.
More Than Just a Party
Let's be real – we all love a good festival for the food, music, and vibes. But Pista Sa Nayon offers something deeper. This event, hosted by the Philippine-American Society of Ohio (PASO), isn't just about having a good time (though you definitely will). Every ticket purchased directly supports PASO's Scholastic and Humanitarian Projects.
What does that mean? Your night out is literally helping fund educational opportunities and community support initiatives. It's like the festival equivalent of those "buy one, give one" deals, except you're getting amazing memories while giving back.
