Target First Free Sunday*, October 4
10:00 am–4:00 pm
Museum-wide
FREE admission courtesy of Target*
Celebrate Filipino American History Month with Filipino American artists, authors, and performers. Learn the richness and beauty of Filipino American culture and history through performances, special displays, talks, storytelling, and activities for children. Enjoy Filipino American dance and music as we commemorate the 422nd anniversary of the landing of Filipino sailors at California’s Moro Bay.
This year’s celebration is particularly special. On September 9, 2009, the California State Assembly voted to “designate the month of October 2009, and every October thereafter, as Filipino American History Month.” The entire text of the bill is available on the state legistature website (Bill no. SCR 48).
