This is the second year in which the original organizer has renamed their annual picnic as a “Heritage Fiesta” to celebrate the heritage, origins and culture of Americans, and they are joined again by co-sponsors York County Action and New Americans by Choice.  A new co-sponsor this year is Conservative Christian Center.

Attendees to this family-oriented, “Fiesta” event are asked to Bring-A-Dish, especially one celebrating your own heritage, to share with at least 10 to 15 people.  Because past events have had an overflow crowd, an RSVP is suggested to RSVP@PhilippineAmericanHeritage.org.  A nominal admission is asked, $2 per person, $3 for couple & $5 for family, and bring your own lawn chairs or blankets for seating in case the limited picnic-bench seating is all filled up.
