After a quick FACC 2026 programming meeting, the programming team (Aaron Nabus, Alicia Ricafrente, and Hunter Tabiendo) went to go check out the Chula Vista Entertainment Company event at Southwestern College.

It was cool seeing Gawakoto there!

FreeFlow is Back!

Come celebrate FilAm CreatorCon’s birthday (we are turning 7 years old) in a big way at our new monthly (every 3rd Saturday) Open Mic / Artist Marketplace / Mixer!

While this event highlights the Filipino American experience, we believe diversity enriches us all. Even if you aren’t Filipino and you have a story to tell or a song to sing, we want to hear it!

We will also showcase three Filipino American creators in our marketplace! If you would like to be a vendor at this event (or future ones) please DM us to be added to the list.

Make sure to also enjoy the tasty food and drinks that Subterranean Coffee has to offer! See you there!
