Filipino Day in Ireland is celebrated on the nearest Monday to the 12^th of June.

Filipino Day in Ireland is one of the biggest gatherings of the year. It can be compared to the famous Barrio Fiesta in London. There is always a lot of fun and exhibitions of Filipino art, music and food. The whole Irish community praises this event similarly to e.g. finals of Pinoy Idol, which is held traditionally before Christmas.

Organization
