CONTRIBUTED REPORT

Seattle Center Festál returns for its 28th year in 2025, offering more dynamic celebrations of Seattle's cultural richness, including its signature Filipino-American festival, “Pagdiriwang.”

Pagdiriwang Philippine Festival is set for May 31through June 1, 2025 at the Armory Food & Event Hall. The festival is part of the Seattle Center Festál series. It is free and open to the public.

Each Festál event features a mix of traditional and modern music, dance, art, crafts, food, and interactive experiences. From marking the seasons to celebrating cultural milestones, the festivals highlight the beauty and diversity of Seattle's heritage while fostering understanding and connection among its residents.

“Seattle Center Festál is at the heart of what makes our city so special,” said Seattle Center Director Marshall Foster. “It’s a celebration of the world brought together right here in Seattle, and we are honored to support this series for another year. We’re especially excited that A Day in Punjab will become a formal part of our Festál lineup.”

In 2024, over 400,000 attendees enjoyed Festál events, immersing themselves in activities ranging from performances to hands-on workshops. The 2025 season promises even more opportunities for learning, engagement, and joy as Festál continues to unite Seattle's many communities in celebration of culture and tradition.
