The Northeast’s Most Complete Filipino Christmas Celebration

Pasko in America is the East Coast’s leading Filipino Christmas festival, held annually at American Dream in New Jersey. Now in its third year, the event welcomes over 6,000 Filipino American families and reaches nearly 60,000 mall visitors during the peak holiday season.

For sponsors and exhibitors, Pasko offers direct access to families during peak shopping season, with extended engagement through children’s activities and cultural performances.

“Pasko in America is perfect for those who can’t travel back to the Philippines for the holidays. We’re bringing the Philippines to them — complete with music, parols, games, and the warmth of our traditions — all in one joyful day.”
— Fernando Mendez, CEO & President, Philippine Fiesta USA
