JOIN US AT THE MYX MAINSTAGE FOR THE LAPU LAPU DAY BLOCK PARTY!
We’re thrilled to welcome you to this year’s Lapu Lapu Day celebration! Our Main Stage will be rocking on the John Oliver Field headlined by Apl.de.Ap and JRey of the Black Eyed Peas and it’s going to be an unforgettable day of music, culture, and community.
They will be joined by performers Talilo and Swiggle Mandela, as well as a featured drag showcase led by Aura Mayari, known for her appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15. She will perform alongside local Queens - Margaux Rita, Diamonté and Batty Banks.
The stage also includes performances by emerging artists Wavy Fay, Sade Awele, Kaya Ko, and Nikkaela. Music will be curated throughout the day by Wild Thangs DJ and DJ Marlino, and featured dancers Kassandra Pagnagalima, Kelly Blancas, Rianna Talento, Xzyannah Gonzales, Joshua Ongcol, Leila Alcuaz will be joining talent on stage, along with festival favourite Jollibee.
The MYX Mainstage concert is by donation. Audience spots at the Main Stage are standing room only and first come, first served.
Also, you’ll be able to come and go throughout the day, so feel free to explore the rest of the Lapu Lapu Day festivities and return to the stage area as you please. As a non-profit, we don’t make money from the event.
All proceeds go directly into making the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party happen and supporting our community programs throughout the year.
The full festival is FREE and open to the public, with activities all day across Fraser Street—from East 41st to East 49th Avenue—including a parade, fashion show, film screening, breakdance battles, cultural dance performances, Zumba by seniors, and more. Rain or shine. All ages welcome.
