Clarksville, TN – Clarksville’s Filipino American International Association, also known as Kadiwa, recently held its annual Philippine Independence Day & Hometown Feast celebration. The beautiful event came alive with vibrant colors and rich traditions of Filipino culture during a festive celebration.
The event featured enchanting traditional Philippine dances, a charming children’s beauty pageant, and a feast of authentic Filipino cuisine. Local Filipino business owners and community members united in showcasing their heritage and sharing invaluable cultural diversity to our city.
