“Magkaisa” or “to unite” in Filipino serves as both the name and the guiding principle of an annual celebration that has been captivating Elk Grove, Sacramento and neighboring areas since 2021. This two-day Magkaisa celebration has become a symbol of unity and cultural pride as well as inclusivity.

Day one of Magkaisa promises an evening filled with performances that showcase the immense talent of the Filipino community. Attendees can savor mouthwatering Filipino cuisine, explore a variety of retail vendors, and tap into valuable community resources.

As the sun sets, the event transforms into an outdoor art haven, featuring live painting and artworks. The outdoor amphitheater will be alive with performances, and guests are encouraged to bring their blankets, banigs (traditional mats), and lawn chairs to comfortably enjoy the show.
