Filipino Community Makes Waves at Broome Dragon Boat Regatta

BROOME, WA — 29 August 2026 — The Filipino Community came together in strong numbers for the annual Dragon Boat Regatta hosted by the Lions Club Broome at Town Beach on Saturday.

The Filipino Community fielded a team of 25 participants, taking to the water alongside other community groups in a day that celebrated sport, teamwork and community connection.

While the Filipino team did not secure an award on the day, the result did little to dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd. More than 100 supporters turned out to cheer the team on, creating a lively atmosphere along the foreshore and demonstrating the strong sense of camaraderie within Broome’s Filipino community.

For many participants, the event was about more than competition. The regatta provided an opportunity for community members to come together, represent their culture and enjoy a day of friendship and sport.

The Filipino Community congratulates all the winners and participating teams for their efforts and sporting spirit.

The community also extends its appreciation to the Lions Club Broome for organising the Dragon Boat Regatta and creating an opportunity for local groups to connect through sport and community participation.

BROOME, WA — 23 August 2026 — Filipino culture and community spirit took centre stage at the 2026 Shinju Matsuri Float Parade at Male Oval, with the Filipino Australian Community in Broome presenting a vibrant celebration of Filipino heritage.

The contingent featured Filipino Bikers, Bulaklakan Dancers, Magsasagwan and Etnik Cultural Performers, led by Maika Quilisadio Iquin, showcasing the colour, energy and traditions of the Filipino community.

A highlight of the presentation was the Filipino-themed float, proudly sponsored by Stratco. The float was designed and constructed by Rod Carlo Bendo and Cristopher Iquin, together with the Stratco team, with support from the Pinoy Bikers.

The float became a genuine community project, bringing together volunteers, performers and local supporters to create a colourful representation of Filipino culture and pride.

The Filipino Australian Community in Broome extends its appreciation to the Shire of Broome, Stratco, Broome Scrap Metal, RedRock Maintenance and Urban Rampage for their support.

The community’s participation reflected the spirit of Shinju Matsuri — celebrating Broome’s rich cultural diversity and the connections that bring the community together.

🎉 Congratulations Joana Fronda! 🐉✨

What started as a last-minute entry has become our winning design for the 2026 Sammy the Dragon Volunteer T-Shirt!

Joana heard about the competition just before entries closed, thought it sounded like fun and submitted her design. The judges were so impressed by her creativity and originality that it was selected as the winning entry from a fantastic field of submissions across Broome and Derby.

A huge Shinju thank you to Sarah Morice for organising the competition and helping inspire our young artists.

Well done, Joana! We can't wait to see your design come to life. 👏🎨
