This weekend, the sights and sounds of the Philippines will be on display in Burnaby for free.

One of the highlights is the Pinoy Festival Street Dance Parade, which showcases the community’s diversity.

Nievera, who has been performing on-stage for more than 40 years, is known as the Concert King of the Philippines.

Nievera recorded one quadruple-platinum, three triple-platinum, five double-platinum, and 18 platinum albums in his storied career.

Metro Vancouver’s first Pinoy Festival was a roaring success, with approximately 10,000 people gathering in Burnaby Civic Square.

The Burnaby Filipino Cultural Society, Pinoy Festival Alliance, and Mabuhay House Society are working with other groups in the community.
