Filipino Culture and Local Business at Kamayan Festival

We hit the Kamayan street festival in Mount Pleasant for local business spotlights and real, unfiltered Vancouver Filipino culture.

Kamayan Festival Vancouver

Shades of YVR takes you to the Kamayan street festival for another episode of Vancouver Unfiltered. We hit the streets of Mount Pleasant to ask locals fun, unfiltered questions about life, businesses, and city culture — and the responses were real, raw, and unforgettable.

Festivals like Kamayan are exactly the kind of cultural-diversity coverage this series is built for — local Filipino businesses, community pride, and street-level energy that a typical event write-up would miss entirely.

Full episode above.
