Message from the President & CEO


Dear Friends:

Experience the Heart of Filipino Christmas at Pasko in America

For Filipinos, Christmas begins earlier than in most countries, with the holiday season kicking off as soon as the "ber months" roll in. From September onward, the spirit of Christmas fills the air with festive music, colorful decor, and cherished traditions. It’s only fitting, then, that Pasko in America, a joyful celebration of Filipino culture and community, takes place on Saturday, December 7, 2024, from 10 am to 6 pm at Court A of American Dream in East Rutherford, NJ.

This event brings together at least 5,000 Filipino Americans from New Jersey, New York, and nearby states, alongside nearly 60,000 visitors exploring one of the East Coast’s premier entertainment and retail centers. With free admission, it’s a day of festive cheer that is open to everyone -- even to non-Filipinos who would like to experience Christmas, the Filipino way.

Pasko in America invites all attendees to experience the warmth, joy, and unique traditions of a Filipino Christmas through cultural performances, kid-friendly workshops, and interactive activities designed to bring the community together in celebration.

This isn’t just another holiday event. Pasko in America is part of a larger mission led by Philippine Fiesta USA, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Beyond this celebration, the organization brings to life events like the glamorous People’s Ball and the expansive Fiesta in America Expo, both in August next year, fostering cultural pride while raising funds to support Filipino arts, history, and community outreach. 

Yet, the success of these initiatives depends on community support. Your donations, with a link provided, in our website, fuel this mission, helping to bring world-class Filipino performers, unforgettable programs, and meaningful experiences to life. Each contribution ensures that Filipino traditions continue to thrive. 

As the year winds down, Pasko in America serves as a joyful reminder of the enduring power of togetherness and cultural pride. Whether you’re rekindling old traditions or discovering new ones, prepare to be part of an extraordinary celebration that blends timeless heritage with modern holiday Pinoy magic.

We can't wait to celebrate Pasko in America with you!
