SHEPPARTON’S Filipino Australia Friends Association (FAFA) came together on Saturday, March 3 for the 36th Philippine House Anniversary and Multicultural Event, held at the Seniors Citizens Club on Welsford Street.
This year’s theme was ‘Our Shared Stories – Celebrating Together.’ Organised by FAFA, it was an afternoon brimming with joy and unity.
From captivating performances by talented singers to lively dance floor sessions and mesmerising folk-dance presentations, every moment was infused with the spirit of celebration.
