A Filipino street festival will take over Constellation Field in Sugar Land this weekend in celebration of Filipino culture.

Hosted by the Filipino Young Professionals (FYP) of Houston, the Houston Filipino Street Festival will feature multiple vendors, live entertainment and music, Filipino street food, family activities and more, according to an event posting on the FYP Houston website. Dubbed the "biggest Filipino festival in the south," the all-day festival aims to showcase the food, culture, heartwarming hospitality and history of The Philippines, according to the website.

"Each region in the Philippines has its own unique and colorful way of celebrating its distinct regional culture in yearly festivals," organizers stated on the website. "This rich cultural diversity among our Filipino people, as well as our heartwarming hospitality, is what we love to showcase in the Houston Filipino Street Festival and share with everyone."
