BOLINGBROOK, Illinois – What was known as “Piyesta Pinoy sa Chicago” will return this summer as “Piyesta Pinoy sa Bolingbrook,” Saturday, June 20 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at the Bolingbrook Performing Arts Center, 375 Briarcliff Rd. next to the Bolingbrook Village Hall and Town Center.

Piyesta Pinoy will provide a special forum for artists, vendors and performers to share their crafts, works and talents in promoting the Filipino American arts, music, cuisine and cultural heritage.

Piyesta Pinoy aims to unite the Filipino American communities in and around the greater Chicago area, promote and preserve Filipino culture and heritage and foster collaboration among different groups, organizations, clubs, businesses and individuals.

Last year’s official attendance was 4,500 over a 12-hour non-stop entertainment schedule that featured a celebrity artist from the Philippines (Dingdong Dantes), four musical bands, a mainstream country singer (Andrew Salgado) and several local cultural music and dance groups among the performers.

Mayor Roger Claar of Bolingbrook, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White and the Jesse White Tumbling Team were also in attendance.
