    “The response has been overwhelming, and we hope to see everyone at the Surrey Civic Plaza on July 22 and July 23,” Fortaleza said.

    Fiesta Extravaganza is happening coast to coast and will feature a taste of Filipino culture, traditions, non-stop entertainment, food, goodies, and souvenirs.

    The extravaganza offers the ultimate Filipino experience on so many fronts, with concerts and cultural presentations and games.
