BARRIO FIESTA
MAY 3 6-8 P.M. SURC BALLROOM
Barrio Fiesta isn’t just an event, but a community of Filipino cultures hoping to represent and share their traditions. Barrio is hosted by the CWU FASA club here on campus. The president of FASA, Elijah Morales, encourages people from all cultures to join in on the fun while hanging out with friends, and maybe make new long-lasting friendships too. This year, Barrio Fiesta is going to be a larger scale event, and held in the SURC Ballroom. You can expect games, activities, performances from different regions of the Philippines, and the fan favorite: delicious food. Barrio Fiesta is a place where people can come and learn about Filipino culture in a fun and engaging way.
Everyone is welcome regardless of culture. The things you should bring are yourself (friends and loved ones are encouraged), willingness to learn, lots of energy, and I repeat, LOTS OF ENERGY!
One of the joys of PolyFest is the pride it brings to both performers and audience members. The Vice President of PISA, Marissa Mose, understands what this event means to everyone. “Truly, that’s what’s important to people, is to see that authenticity of their own culture that they can resonate with,” says Mose.
PolyFest is an event celebrating Polynesian culture. The Pacific Islander Student Association, or PISA, has the challenging task of representing six regions with their own unique culture: Māori, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti, and Hawaiʻi. This year, the event is going to have as many as 40 to 50 performers! PISA has done extensive research to present authentic dances.
