So today my family and I attended Barrio Fiesta in Stevenage. This is the first Barrio Fiesta to be held there and I believe it was a success. So I look forward to many more. Barrio Fiesta (from what I gather) means town festival. For us Filipinos; this is a time in which we celebrate our nationality and heritage. There are rides, food stalls and performances. The stage features these entertainment segments and they are all delivered with a Filipino twist. These range from traditional dances, folk music and songs from Filipino artists. To give you a small taste; here is a video featuring one such traditional dance that involves coconuts.
Oh my that took ages to upload. And I cant seem to rotate it. I hope it'll do. My plan was to upload a second video featuring the parade. But I'll have to sort out the orientation first. In the mean time; enjoy the video.
There were lots of performances. There was even a little girl who sung a certain song from Disney's Frozen. A song who's name I shall not repeat as it has the tendency of getting stuck in my head. Unfortunately, after a few performances; it began to rain. But I stuck it out to watch some more.
The cold never bothered me anyway ;)
